It Worked for Me! The Healthy Skeptic’s Guide to Testimonials

Athletics, Lectures, Wellness, Training, Education, Workshops, Rec Sports, Lunch & Learns, Fall Semester Lunchtime Talks

Testimonials endorsing the therapeutic value of health and fitness products, services and practices are often very persuasive.  This class will provide a skeptical examination of such testimonials.  It will address how they are often faked, how they are often erroneous when sincerely offered, what they don’t tell us and how they compared to high-quality clinical research evidence.  This class will be taught through Zoom.  You must register for this class at http://eeb.touchtaipei.com/training

Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination at Princeton University: Princeton University believes that commitment to principles of fairness and respect for all is favorable to the free and open exchange of ideas, and the University seeks to reach out as widely as possible in order to attract the ablest individuals as students, faculty, and staff. In applying this policy, the University is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis of personal beliefs or characteristics such as political views, religion, national or ethnic origin, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, age, marital or domestic partnership status, veteran status, disability, genetic information and/or other characteristics protected by applicable law in any phase of its education or employment programs or activities. In addition, pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and supporting regulations, Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education programs or activities that it operates; this extends to admission and employment. Inquiries about the application of Title IX and its supporting regulations may be directed to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education or to the University's Sexual Misconduct/Title IX Coordinator.
