Introduction

Hello,

My name is Wesley Rose and before I begin my blog I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself. I am a graduate of University of Guelph and my B.Sc. is in Biomedical science. I am currently perusing a Master’s at Guelph and I love what I do. My area of interest is medicine and that is what I will focus on.

I have become very concerned at the amount of misinformation that exists in regard to medicine. The internet has provided a great way to quickly share information but that has also lead to bad information being spread. 

My goal is to provide an unbiased approach to evaluating medical treatments. Either they work or they don’t, and that’s what I would like to determine.. I am not telling you my opinion of what I think works or doesn't work I am telling you what is true. Science’s goal is to determine what is true, it does not take sides and it does not care what you think. It only cares about what is true and what’s not. I will be as cold as science in that sense, neither your or my beliefs matter on these issues, all that matters is what is true. Everything I say will be backed up with properly conducted experiments that show us what is true. Over thousands of years we have determined as a species that properly conducted experiments show us how the world works meaning that in medicine they are the gold standard in determining if a treatment works.

I have found that there is a disconnect between the scientific community and the general public. I think that somewhere down the line scientists forget how to talk to everyone else. They use big words and confusing terminology that is lost on many people (me included). My hope is that I will be able to communicate to you in a simple manner what the scientific community already knows.

I hope you find my blog informative.

Wes
