Bad Science, Dangerously Misapplied- The Story of the BMI

A Vague Knowledge of Everything by Rosemary Cusson-O'Brien and Hope Collins
Episode notes
In this episode we talk about the history of the Body Mass Index, and why it should absolutely not be a metric by which to measure individual health. We also get into medical bias, fat-shaming, and why methodology in scientific studies is super important. Have fun getting angry with us!
