The Dividing Edge of Science
Roy Jafari, Ph.D.
Witnessing the growing division in our communities, cities, and country is heartbreaking. Our worlds feel ripped apart, and we all know the pain of feeling separated.
While we universally agree on the need to bridge our divides, our calls for unity often intensify our differences instead of healing them. One significant reason is the irresponsible use of science. Its misuse, abuse, and overuse have deepened our divides.
This book begins with accessible chapters on the fundamentals of scientific tools, gradually progressing to discuss their abuse in the most contentious debates of our time, including global warming, COVID-19, Big Pharma, abortion, and gender fluidity.
After reading, you'll gain the ability to critically assess scientific claims in the news and engage in debates where science is misrepresented. Join me on this journey to unravel the misuse and limits of science and take a transformative step toward healing our divide.
