Sense about Science
The internet is a fantastic source of information, sadly not all of this is accurate, or even true. A good way to ensure you can trust informationis to ask for evidence. Sense about science, have a video on this. This goes along side their campaign.

Ask for Evidence infographic
This is a really good resource to help people get to the facts by asking for evidence. I have some information at Paignton Library about this too, along with more resource set aside for the next STEM group meeting on the 11th December.
Hopefully it will make a good discussion topic at the meeting too.
This is a really important issue. Especially given all the information we are bombarded with on a daily basis, different viewpoints, sources separating good and bad information is a skill. This goes for looking up how to undertake tasks, you need to find the right information, this takes time.
When looking at Science it is about doing proper, robust and high quality research,
Getting this peer reviewed is an important step. However the resource on this is really useful for understanding the peer review process, as I this is an important step to ensure we can trust the research in the first place.

Peer review process
I have been contacting various organisations to ask for resources for the STEM group, Sense About Science [1] have now sent the Library some resources.
On their website, I found a really interesting document looking at the peer review process [2].
Well worth reading, even if you are not in academia.
