Professor Timothy Caulfield launched his latest book, Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything?: When Celebrity Culture and Science Clash, in Edmonton last week. A self-professed lover of celebrity culture, Professor Caulfield delves into the messages and promises that stars promise their fans. While applying scientific research to beauty routines and fads, Professor Caulfield tries them out and recounts his experiences and results.
"Caulfield's cure for the mess we're in is this lucid and well-researched compendium of the best-available science about diet, fitness, genetics, pharmaceuticals and alternative medicine. . . . A compelling and timely argument for science and a reminder that science is an iterative process, breakthroughs are rare, and there are no magical cures for everything." - Julia Belluz, The National Post
