While his videos always take a more medical approach to science the practice is a science so I have always enjoyed C0nc0rdance's videos. This particular one shows why a scientist needs to have a basic understanding of statistics. It also shows why single studies, like the Wakefield MMR paper, don't prove anything and why I was so upset with the World Health Organization (WHO) when they issued their statement saying that cell phones might cause cancer, that was until I saw they had it in the same category as things like coffee aka if they do it will be hidden in the noise anyway (although they probably don't since as far as physics are concerned there is no mechanism, ok I will get off this topic now). Anyway enjoy!
