In his fascinating and thought-provoking book, Professor Luke O'Neill grapples with life's biggest questions and tells us what science has to say about them: Do we have control over our lives? Must we vaccinate our children? Are men and women's brains different? Will we destroy the planet? Covering topics from global pandemics to gender, addiction to euthanasia, Luke O'Neill's easy wit and clever pop-culture references deconstruct the science to make complex questions accessible. Arriving at science's definitive answers to some of the most controversial topics human beings have to grapple with, Never Mind the B#ll*ocks is a celebration of science and hard facts in a time of fake news and sometimes unhelpful groupthink.

O'Neill approaches the science of the subjects he covers with wit, composure and his trademark optimism (along with many pop culture references as the title of the book included). The 'difference' between men and women discusses societal pressure and expectations; the chapters on crime, addiction and depression acknowledge the role of upbringing, privilege and access to resources.
However for some of these topics the complex nature of them can't just be answered with science. And I think that is the point in all this. Science can only take us so far... we ourselves must be willing to take the next steps. ( )
