federal judges were directed to examine the scientific method underlying expert evidence and admit that which is scientifically reli-able and relevant. However, if a judge does not have adequate training or experience in dealing with scientific uncertainty, understand the full value or limit of currently used methodologies, or recog-nize hidden assumptions, misrepresentations of sci-entific data, or the strengths of scientific inferences, he or she may reach an incor-rect decision on the relia-bility and relevance of evi-dence linking environmental factors to human disease. This could lead to the un-fair exclusion of valid scien-tific evidence, particularly that which is essential to a plaintiff’s case in toxic tort litigation. (Am J Publi
