Science itself is becoming increasingly politicized, but it's important to remember that...

"Importantly, science itself is not a belief system or a fixed set of truths. It’s a method for understanding the world around us. A disciplined, transparent, and self-correcting process for figuring out what’s real. And it helps us separate fact from opinion, causation from coincidence, and evidence from gut feeling or dare I say, “common sense.”

"So when a scientist says “trust the science,” they’re not saying “trust every individual study” or “never question authority.” They’re saying to trust the conclusions that are supported by the best available evidence and filtered through a process that’s meant to catch errors. Not because it's perfect or absolute truth, but because it’s the most reliable way we’ve found to get closer to the truth."

"And while attempting to discredit science, misguided voices will often say something like: “Well, science has been wrong before.”

Yes. It has. That’s the point. Science isn’t about being right all the time. It’s about being willing to update when new evidence emerges, which is precisely what makes science better than guesswork."

"Ultimately, trusting the science isn’t about believing it has all the answers. It’s about recognizing that it’s the best chance we have at finding them."

Date night with Dave last night at Dimsum House UIUC 😍 Oh man, you have to try these pillowy oatmeal egg custard buns! Soft and chewy bun encases a creamy and not too sweet egg custard. Mmm 🤌

- determine what the right amount of food is for you by turning inward to notice feelings of hunger and fullness and becoming aware of they types of foods on your plate

- put an end to obsessive food thoughts throughout your day so you can put that mental energy towards other things you value in life

- reduce your frequency of emotional eating and discover a variety of other coping mechanisms

This is one of my favorite recipes for this time of year - a soothing, warming, immunity-boosting bowl of chicken noodle soup. I recommend making a double batch and freezing some so you have it on hand when you catch a nasty bug and don't feel like cooking.
