The Dunning-Kruger Effect

Each week, I come up with three science news items. Four facts, two real, one fake and I challenge my panelists to tell me which is the truth or fiction. Bob: As long as you correctly understood what the Dunning-Kruger effect was always about, it still exists. Jake: Bacteria incorporating radioactive elements in their enzyme structure, deriving some of their energy from the radioactive decay within the enzyme to perform the enzymatic activities are just like too cool to be true.
