Science doesn’t speak for itself. Neck-deep in work that can be messy and confounding, and naïve in the ways of public communication, scientists are often unable to package their insights into the neat narratives that the public requires. Enter the celebrities, the advocates, the lobbyists, and the funders behind them, who take advantage of scientists’ reluctance to provide easy answers, flooding the media with misleading or incorrect claims about health risks. Amid this onslaught of spurious information, Americans are more confused than ever about what’s good for them and what isn’t.In Bad Advice, Paul A. Offit shares hard-earned wisdom on the do’s and don’ts of battling misinformation. For the past twenty years, Offit has been on the front lines in the fight for sound science and public heath. Stepping into the media spotlight as few scientists have done—such as being one of the first to speak out against conspiracy theories linking vaccines to autism—he found himself in the crosshairs of powerful groups intent on promoting pseudoscience. Bad Advice discusses science and its adversaries: not just the manias stoked by slick charlatans and their miracle cures but also corrosive, dangerous ideologies such as Holocaust and climate-change denial. Written with wit and passion, Offit’s often humorous guide to taking on quack experts and self-appointed activists is a must-read for any American disturbed by the recent uptick in politicized attacks on science.

Paul Offit writes great books because he views reality through a scientific lens, unabashedly defending science on every page of this book. He is a hero because he invented a vaccine that saves thousands of children’s lives every day, and because he bravely stands up against the dark forces of anti-science by writing books like this one.A very quick read, he writes clearly and succinctly about why you shouldn’t listen to non-scientific non-experts on topics ranging from climate change to, of course, vaccines. Throughout the book, he comes across with humility and sprinkles humorous personal stories here and there, some of which made me laugh out loud.Make no mistake, however; he is deadly serious about defeating the vile forces of anti-scientific darkness that threatens our way of life and our very existence. We need many more voices like his in this world, and many fewer Jenny McCarthys. Bravo!
