This can happen when research is either misinterpreted or a reporter fails to put the science into the proper context. And that’s a shame, given that what is being reported is often truly important. Clearly, hype should never be a part of scientific reporting, something we learned back in 1984 when then-Secretary of Health and Human Services Margaret Heckler declared that we would have an HIV vaccine “within two years....

Your mind instantly starts making a map, creating links between these associations, or concepts – a mental website of sorts. In association with pilots, you might think of their pay or training.
