What does the body of evidence have to say on the topic of ergonomics? Plus: should a maker of vaping products have bought out an entire issue of an academic journal to publish its studies, and we answer questions from our listeners about osteoporosis and COVID contrarians.
Block 1:
Ergonomics: carpal tunnel syndrome and ergonomic keyboards (2:09)
Block 2:
Ergonomics: work breaks, arm supports, workplace interventions, standing desks, and computer glasses (11:27)
Block 3:
The controversy over Juul e-cigarettes and academic publishing (28:42)
Block 4:
Is this paper proof that strontium works for osteoporosis? (41:07)
What’s with MDs and PhDs becoming COVID contrarians? (45:33)
