FAKE NEWS in the World of Science

12/21/24 • 43 min

You know what they say... If it's on the internet, then it must be true! Well, sorry to bee a buzzzzzz kill, but, there’s A LOT of fake news in the world. The spread of false information has become a serious challenge to evidence-based decision-making and science communication. So, how can one attempt to cut through the noise and separate fact from fiction?
Join the Amys and their brilliant guest, Dr. Erica Feuerbacher – professor, researcher, and applied animal behavior extraordinaire – for a closer look at what makes research valuable and valid. We discuss how to critically read research papers, what to consider when confronted with claims, and how to evaluate sources for signs of credibility. Ditch the rose-colored glasses and grab a cocktail as we get down to business exposing the dirty underbelly of research publication.

Jumping Off the Rainbow Bridge

Working in the pet behavior field isn't always rainbows and unicorns. Instead, sometimes it involves the Rainbow Bridge. This topic is often misunderstood and stigmatized as the dark side of behavior. However, in science and in life, it is essential we refrain from drawing conclusions or placing blame without weighing facts and exploring varying points of view. One perspective is that the practice of euthanasia is a painless and humane way of releasing a pet from their suffering when all other means have been exhausted, and can be considered a compassionate and selfless gift.
Join The Amys and their extra special guest, researcher, and applied animal behaviorist, Miranda Hitchcock, co-founder of Every Dog Austin Behavior & Training, for a heart to heart discussion about this sensitive, but necessary topic. Learn about the most common reasons or considerations for behavioral euthanasia, and how to best support those faced with difficult decisions in challenging times.
