Free Associations

by

Free Associations is about using a critical eye when reading journal articles or news coverage about research breakthroughs. With a sense of humor and a healthy dose of skepticism Boston University School of Public Health Professors Matt Fox, Chris Gill, and Jennifer Rider talk us through popular health studies and hyperbolic news headlines while teaching us how to ask the right questions.
