While I still believe in the motto “Si vis pacem, para bellum” (if you want peace, prepare for war), this is the time of the year to think about peace. Stupid ritual? Maybe – maybe not. All religions have established special ritual dates to help people focus on some basic issues: Yom Kippur is supposed

Evidência científica vem em camadas, como cebolas: no centro, temos as chamadas “fontes primárias”. São os resultados de pesquisa de primeira mão publicados em “revistas referenciadas”. “Referenciadas”, ou “peer reviewed”, em inglês, quer dizer que o trabalho é analisado por outros pesquisadores por um processo conhecido como “duplo-cego”: pesquisadores respeitados lêem o manuscrito e julgam
Scientific evidence comes in layers, like onions: at the core, there is what we call “primary sources”. These are the first-hand, experimental research results published in peer reviewed journals. “Peer reviewed” means that the paper is analyzed by other researchers through a process known as “double-blind” evaluation: reputable researchers read the paper ignoring who the
