'BS Detection and the Fall of the Food Babe' (Yvette d’Entremont the SciBabe, Center for Inquiry)

From vaccines to chemo, modern science provides a wealth of services to prevent and heal disease. Many sources on the Internet would have us believe that these treatments and services are actually making us sicker! How is a person supposed to know what's good science and what's just plain old BS? Yvette d'Entremont, aka "Science Babe," will walk you through it all, with a funny and informative discussion on how to detect reputable health advice on these topics and how modern science is making us live longer and healthier lives than ever before. In addition to talking about detecting bad science, she will discuss her current criticism of the claims of the "Food Babe" about what foods are healthy or not.

Yvette d'Entremont holds bachelor's degrees in theatre and chemistry along with a master's degree in forensic science. With a background working as an analytical chemist, she currently runs her Science Babe website full time. The site is a reliable mix of debunking pseudoscience with a combination of humor and real science. You can find more information at www.scibabe.com.
