How to Study the Science - My Guide


(Tom Seest) #1

So many of you have recently become aware of my comprehensive and detailed strategies for eating, fasting and exercising in 2017. Most have probably begun to question how I was able to tap so many vast resources and experts, comprehend their messages and then simplify them into one set of guides,

I implemented my conquest for scientific knowledge successfully in 2016, and I’ve now updated and revised the plan for 2017.

Feel free to adapt all of these guides into your own successful journey to better health and wellness in 2017.

My final plan and guide for you released this last day of 2016 for you.

Be well and be awesome.

I’m already discarding your advice. But I did read and study it first. :grin:

You do you.

It might be overkill for most people but going back to school in my late 30’s I found I struggled with math and some of the harder sciences, and technology courses (My degree is in Health Informatics which blends electronic medical record technology, all aspects of healthcare compliance, medical courses and analytics).

This book helped. A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) .

Its certainly not a math book, but she teaches concepts that help you prepare yourself before studying hard material and things to do. Mental tools and strategies for comprehending the thinks you are learning.

Here is my process…

  1. define gap or problem
  2. define goal or opportunity to address gap/problem (example = lose weight around belly section)
  3. develop hypothesis…“if I do x, it will yield y”
  4. develop test plan for hypothesis, I.e. What potential solution are you willing to test?
  5. conduct test plan, collect data
  6. does data validate or yield results addressed in (2)?
  7. repeat with tweaked/modified test plan, or finalize test with pass/fail (n=1 experiment finalized)

No. you are not allowed to make up your own rules on how to do science! (insert grumpy face)

An honest scientist includes a step to disprove your (deeply loved) hypothesis.

If you disprove it, it is considered invalid. If you can’t disprove it, it MIGHT be valid, or it MIGHT NOT. The best thing you can say is that “the hypothesis could not be rejected”.

In grad school we were always referred to TC Chamberlain’s paper on the scientific method.

Like Gary Taubes said, only about 5% of scientists do the scientific method properly.
