Science Refresh for Adults

The Science Refresh Hour

Usable science literacy is ordinary adult work: a feed card that says study shows, a workplace slide, a pharmacy label with a rate, a weather page. A working adult who is not a scientist can run that hour on a train or after work — if a caption is not allowed to pass as the study, and a model précis is not allowed to pass as an observation.

Editorial principle

Evidence before feed. Observe before explain. A denser claim with a named source and a named limit. Adulthood is not a science birthday.
