Krátky popis
So much relies on science. But what if science itself can't be
relied on? Medicine, education, psychology, health, parenting -
wherever it really matters, we look to science for guidance.
Science Fictions reveals the disturbing flaws that undermine our
understanding of all of these fields and more. While the scientific
method will always be our best and only way of knowing about the
world, in reality the current system of funding and publishing
science not only fails to safeguard against scientists' inescapable
biases and foibles, it actively encourages them.Many widely
accepted and highly influential theories and claims - about
'priming' and 'growth mindset', sleep and nutrition, genes and the
microbiome, as well as a host of drugs, allergies and therapies -
turn out to be based on unreliable, exaggerated and even fraudulent
papers. We can trace their influence in everything from austerity
economics to the anti-vaccination movement, and occasionally count
the cost of them in human lives. Stuart Ritchie has been at the
vanguard of a new reform movement within science aimed at exposing
and fixing these problems. In this vital investigation, he gathers
together the evidence of their full and shocking extent and
proposes a host of remedies to save and protect this most valuable
of human endeavours from itself.
