About this episode
The incomparable science journalist David Tuller (https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/42302) shares how he dissects and reports on medical research. He made a name for himself contesting the methods used in the PACE trial, a study that claimed to support the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exercise as a treatment for ME/CFS, but has now been debunked. He sees similarities between the approach to ME and now Long Covid. I ask David about the legacy of the PACE trial today, and how we can we trust what we read in scientific journals.
