Glyphosate study bias:
Linda sent this to me concerning the glyphosate article one of the attendees referred to. The article Linda shared discusses how studies designed to support personal ideological beliefs lead to completely unreliable results, known as outcome bias. In other words, you either construct the study to encourage the results you want, or cherry pick the results to support your hypothesis. Either way, it results in misleading conclusions. https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2021/02/10/misleading-glyphosate-cancer-study-part-2-symptom-of-a-widespread-problem-concerns-about-ideological-activism-in-science-research-and-communications/.
