The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

47.7K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Nature and Nurture01:10

Nature and Nurture

22.2K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.1K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

41.9K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

68.5K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

What is Evolutionary History?02:35

What is Evolutionary History?

43.0K
Scientists record evolutionary history by analyzing fossil, morphological, and genetic data. The fossil record documents the history of life on Earth and provides evidence for evolution. However, both fossil and living organisms offer evidence that outlines Earth’s evolutionary history.

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) has limitations, but practitioners should focus on its practical application rather than its imperfections. The column advocates for embracing EBVM despite its current challenges in veterinary practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Evidence-Based Practice

    Background:

    • The implementation of evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) faces ongoing challenges.
    • Critiques of EBVM often highlight its imperfections and limitations in real-world application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To advocate for the practical adoption of EBVM in veterinary practice.
    • To encourage a shift in focus from EBVM's shortcomings to its actionable benefits.

    Main Methods:

    • This is an opinion piece and the first in a new evidence column.
    • It presents an argument based on the authors' expertise and perspective.

    Main Results:

    • The authors argue that EBVM, despite not being perfect, is essential for veterinary practice.
    • A call to action is made for veterinarians to implement EBVM despite its flaws.

    Conclusions:

    • Veterinarians should actively engage with and implement evidence-based veterinary medicine.
    • Focusing on practical application of EBVM is more productive than dwelling on its imperfections.
