I wrote an opinion piece for Scientific American @sciam, addressed to aspiring (or early-stage) PhD STEM students.
I'd say good mentor(s) + self-care are the key. Finding/developing these are fundamental.

I couldn't agree more. If you don't have the subject matter expertise to evaluate a paper, talk to someone who does.

Give Kansas a break. They're still recovering from Hurricane Dorian.

It's also worth reiterating that a half a dozen experts commented that the main finding was wrong the SAME DAY the preprint was posted. Any reporter who can't be bothered to check the comments is not practicing responsible journalism.

Every bioRxiv preprint comes with a warning (biorxiv.org/content/what-u…). Reporters who want to write about preprints should pay attention to it. I understand that most science reporters these days aren't subject matter experts, but they are capable of checking with experts.

Rather, the problem IMO is reporters who report on research that hasn't been peer reviewed, that they don't understand, and that they can't be bothered to run by a few experts in the field. The scientists also bear responsibility, of course.

I agree, that is unfortunate. As I've written before, though (freethoughtblogs.com/fierceroller/?…), I don't think the problem is that preprint servers give scientists a place to post non peer-reviewed research. Anybody with a domain could do that without @biorxivpreprint.

Some scientists posted a #preprint that was flashy ("uncanny", "astonishing"), apparently not very careful, and wrong. Within hours, half a dozen experts commented that it was wrong and showed why it was wrong. This IS how it's supposed to work.
