Q. How can I fact-check statements about science topics?

I sometimes hear statements on Facebook or Twitter, during a political speech - or even on the news - that I'm not sure are true.

For a quick check, try SciCheck. If the topic you need to investigate isn't there, you may need to do your own research into the topic. Target scholarly sources, as they are most likely to be written by experts in the field, unbiased and scientifically sound.
