Tracing the flap of a butterfly's wings- using complexity science to study acupuncture • EAP038 • Lisa Taylor-Swanson
Episode description
Research is a funny thing. On one hand, most of us think of it as the most dry and boring stuff you could possibly read. On the other hand, we see it as the Holy Grail of truth when it comes to understanding the effectiveness of medical interventions.

Listen in to find out why double-blind studies are useless for understanding the emergent outcomes and nonspecific effects of acupuncture.
