If you can get away with it, print this statement out and past it to your manager or CEO's office door: "Whenever you hear the words 'new study,' alarm bells should ring. It isn't new studies that you should base your opinions on; it is old studies that have been replicated again and again." Also this: "The simplest way to avoid being misled is to stop getting your psychology and science news from, well, the news."
