Question #1: Kinesio Tape and Pregnancy ()[edit]
I’m in a moms running group, and it is rife with pseudoscience. They often talk about going to a chiropractor, cupping, taping, and all the other usual suspects found in fitness. This is one I hadn’t seen before. This is spreading a lot of misinformation, and the writer is preying on pregnant people who are already saturated with misinformation. Fitness pseudoscience is one of the areas that really gets under my skin.

Item #2: A new study finds that women perform better than men on visuospatial tasks, contrary to prior research.[6]
Item #3: Chemists report a process by which they can cheaply and quickly create usable graphene in bulk from any organic material, even garbage.[7]
