When the same data tells a different story… 📊🔍

You’d think analyzing the same dataset would lead to the same conclusions, but our new BMC Biology study shows otherwise. Different methods - different answers!

Why? It's complicated...

Tällaiset uutiset saavat veren kiehumaan.

Orpon hallitus ei ole tieteellisten paneelien neuvoista piitannut, mutta niiden romuttaminen kokonaan vie piittaamattomuuden uudelle tasolle.

Piittaamattomuus luonnosta ja ilmastosta on piittaamattomuutta lapsista ja ihmisistä. www.hs.fi/politiikka/a...
