How can seemingly credible scientific claims sometimes lack a solid foundation? In this episode of Decision Dynamics, we unravel the look elsewhere effect, a phenomenon where researchers find patterns or results that appear significant—simply because they’re looking too broadly or in too many places.
Using real-world examples from scientific studies, data analysis, and media reporting, we’ll explore how this effect leads to false positives and questionable conclusions. You’ll also learn why even experts fall into this trap and how to critically assess scientific claims for credibility and rigor.
Whether you’re a science enthusiast or just curious about decision-making in research, this episode will sharpen your ability to spot when the numbers don’t add up!
