Task 13 Blog Post

focused research question:

As pseudo-science gains ground on more accepted evidence-based sciences, are the ramifications of this more positive or more negative? Is the acceptance of pseudo-science a problem, or is it more or a symptom indicating a larger problem?

  • "prevalence of homeopathy"
  • "science behind homeopathy"
  • "pseudoscience deaths"
  • "alternative medicine deaths"
  • "ramifications of pseudoscience"
  • "distrust of science"

  1. Hello,
    I have a few to add to your list. Here they are:
    homeopathy and death and medicine
    pharmaceutical and people
    science and medicine and deaths

    If you add the word AND in between you get different search results.

  2. I gonna have to agree with Jillian when you use boolean operators you increase your results. An example would be, pseudoscience AND death*. Hope it helps.
