"Science, at heart an enterprise for mavericks, has become an enterprise for careerists. It's time to flip the career track for science on its head. Instead of waiting until someone's best years are behind her to award her academic freedom and prestige, abolish the PhD and grant fellowships to the best 22-year-olds, giving them the biggest budgets and the most freedoms for the first five or 10 years of their careers. Then, with only few exceptions, shift them away from research to teaching or some other harmless activity. Only then can we begin to fix Big Science."

This is very true.  Many of the Phd candidates I've encountered in water science, for example, barely understand the science.  They know their models.  But they don't know the science.  And they are obsesses with getting published to the point of completely ignoring the fact that much of their science doesn't quite add up.

it doesn't add up because it doesn't fit, and if it don't fit..you got

"the scientific method has "self-correcting mechanisms" that ensure
that, eventually, the truth will prevail. 
Unfortunately for all of us, Wilson makes a convincing argument that
those self-correcting mechanisms are broken."

"...gravitational waves at the BICEP2 experiment in Antarctica,  — have now been retracted, with far less fanfare than when they were first published."
http://theweek.com/articles/618141/big-science-broken



Translation: gravitational waves have not been detected.


why do you guys fall for this false stuff....wishful thinkers? Your thing called Science, is over. There is nothing else to discover except false discoveries.

"Steven Levitt, of Freakonomics fame, largely built his career on a
paper arguing that abortion led to lower crime rates 20 years later
because the aborted babies were disproportionately future criminals. Two
economists went through the painstaking work of recoding Levitt's
statistical analysis — and found a basic arithmetic error."

Most medical information on Wikipedia is false, say researchers

We do not expect you to trust us

It is in the nature of an ever-changing work like Wikipedia that, while
some articles are of the highest quality of scholarship, others are
admittedly complete rubbish. We are fully aware of what it is and what
it isn't. Also, because some articles may contain errors, please do not
use Wikipedia to make critical decisions.
