We Read Research So You Don’t Have To

August 31, 2016 by Russ Greene

Korey Stringer Institute: Obfuscation, Corruption and Death

August 22, 2016 by Russell Berger

In the past few years, a large percentage of our reporting has looked at the relationship between the ACSM and its corporate sponsor, Gatorade.

August 3, 2016 by Russ Greene

Adults used to worry about teenagers having too much sex. Now they worry about teenagers having too little sex. Take yesterday’s Washington Post article, “There isn’t really anything magical about it’: Why more millennials are avoiding sex.” The data on high school sex rates is compelling: And it’s not just high school students who stopped doing it. The sexlessness trend has continued for people in their 20’s. The Post reports that, … 15 percent of 20- to 24-year-olds have not had sex since turning […]
