Disclaimer

While I may be posting a fair amount about my opinion on topics, I am not one of those people who throw out information that they "heard from someone who knows a lot about it," or "heard on the TV or read in the newspaper." I root my opinions in scientific knowns and logic. I will do my best to back up what I write in my posts with veritable information- either coming from what I have learned in school, an academic or government website, or from a peer-reviewed scientific paper. I'll be sure to point out something if I can not back it up with one of those sources. If you come across an instance in which I'm making a wild claim or providing information without a good source, please comment on the post or send me an email- christinecbarton at gmail.com.

Also, from time to time I will use another person's picture in my blog. You can click on the picture in the blog post to see a link to where I originally got the picture from. If there is no attribution, it is my photo.

And finally, the material written in my blog are my own thoughts, ideas, and opinions, and are not approved or endorsed by any entity that I may be affiliated with.
