مستخلص: This article discusses the importance of accurate scientific communication through press releases and the potential consequences of disseminating inaccurate information. The authors address a specific press release about the water clarity of Lake Tahoe, which incorrectly attributed the improvement in clarity to zooplankton. They argue that the data and peer-reviewed scientific literature contradict this claim and suggest that other factors, such as sediment inputs and climate dynamics, are responsible for the changes in clarity. The authors also provide recommendations for improving the communication of scientific information through press releases, emphasizing the need for peer review and open data sharing.
