How to Assemble Science

Humanity produces millions of scientific articles daily, yet individual studies are often reported in isolation, leading to contradictory narratives and misinformation—such as the FDA's warning about acetaminophen and autism that cherry-picked evidence and frightened pregnant women unnecessarily. The core problem is systemic: scientists prioritize publishing individual papers for career advancement, journalists pursue sensational headlines for clicks, and few experts invest time in synthesizing existing knowledge to reveal what evidence actually tells us. This "scandalous failure of science to cumulate evidence scientifically" creates confusion rather than clarity about what we truly know.
