Spoiler alert: It’s a research program for over 20 years at Northeastern University to understand the impact of steroid abuse in teens.

Rand Paul is just mad if scientists keep investigating someone is going to realize the only thing going on in his head is two hampsters boxing.

I look forward to watching the federal govt give 5mil to newly formed X Research to determine if Christianity should be taught in school as the one true religion.

stuff like this I actually don’t mind.

Someone had to look at these research papers - assuredly more than one - about (in this case) the effects of steroid abuse in teens. They had to understand the gist of that research. Then they had to create a pithy one liner that conveys that gist, albeit arguably dishonestly.

That’s way better than “windmills cause cancer” or “migrants are eating pets.”

I’m all for the trend of badly summarizing important clinical research, because we can correct that. At least we have a better chance of correcting that than pure lies.
