For someone who is not totally quantitatively literate, or whose background is outside of STEM, what are the best resources for understanding scientific studies? I’m looking for books, articles, or posts that explain both the different parts of these studies and what is most relevant about them. What should I be paying attention to when reading a study? What are some red flags when looking at a study that would signal epistemic uncertainty?
