SO MUCH FOR SCIENCE

in politics •  6 years ago 


Originally Published September 10, 2018

Science should not serve any agenda BUT the pursuit of knowledge, at least that's what I was taught when I learned about science and the scientific method. Then why do distinguished professors have to publish their work in hiding, keep mum, and why are students being taught that controversial topics that ask legitimate questions cannot be studied? And why is this important at a time when legal standards and cultural mores are being cemented surrounding these topics? I dig deep!

glad to see you speaking about this topic!
I wrote an article including the quilette article you mentioned as well about two weeks ago

very interesting to read from this Great Barrier Reef researcher/professor

this replication crisis is so widespread, you probably can find questionable "science" in all kinds of fields.
