9、rests are designed to provide colorful crops. People are encouraged to harvest them. “We think its important to put public food in public spaces,” she said.

17、in them. Ambassadors can then post “open lunch” events, which signal to anyone seeking company that theyre invited to join the ambassadors table.Natalie Hampton, a 16-year-old from California, is the designer of Sit With Us; which was posted on September 9.

19、 her experience isnt an isolated one.

No one else has to know,” she e
20、xplained, “And you know that youre not going to be rejected once you get to the table.”When students especially the “cool kids” stand up to builying, it has an important effect.

21、edia tools and encouragement to deal with it, and saw a reduction in student conflict reports by 30 percent.Hampton said that since she opened the app last week, shes already getting positive responses from her classmates. “People are already posting open lunches at my school,” she told the program.

Suddenly, were going to be told that high-cholesterol foods are not bad for us after all.This isnt the first time science reverses what it believes to be true, nor
26、 will it be the last. To optimists, the fluidity of sciences conclusions is a good thing - prove that science is always correcting itself in light of the very latest information. But a modem society that looks increasingly to science for not just what to eat, but also how to behave and what to think
27、? How can we trust an authority that often changes its mind in extreme ways?Sciences typical way isnt limited to matters of nutrition. Go ahead and check it out for yourself by looking at the qualifiers used in the vast majority of honestly written science news articles. Youll see that the stories a
28、re laced with weak words and phrases such as: some, in certain circumstances, probably, perhaps, may, could, tends, suggests, indicates, according to, is linked to, plays a role in. The grave problem Ive observed over the years is that too often science and its reporters create the impression of cer
29、tainty when none is proved. The cholesterol story is but one example of that make-believe certainty.How much should we be concerned about this?
