To be sure, in the laboratory, scientists use animals in controlled experimental conditions to investigate the workings of toxic agents. But, like epidemiological evidence, laboratory studies have many uncertainties, and scientists must extrapolate from study specific evidence to make judgments about causation and recommend protective measures.

One is that a surprising number of populist leaders have managed to get themselves into power in recent years. Their success reflects the electorate s uncertainties and, increasingly, the perceived injustices of globalization, as well as the fear of many about minorities, immigrants, and foreigners in general.
