Great article.

Isn't it just? Prompted me to do a mini-thread when I first found it >https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/933433781318537219 …

Medical research is my day job. Sorry to say it rings true.
-
How interesting to hear you say that - thank you. I just found myself with cause to go looking for the science, (which I believed in), only to find there really wasn't a whole lot that would qualify as such in the medical field. Pharma especially so.
-
The problem is that people assume science is a truth-seeking machine. Actually it is a consensus-building machine. They are very different.
-
If I could frame that tweet, I would. Beautifully put. Call me old-fashioned, but I never regarded consensus alone as science at all. I recall the maths version: 1+1=3 because enough of us say so? Yeah...right!
-
Thanks. In practice scientific 'peer-review' means a few Profs at the top edit (aka gate-keep) the journals and vet grant applications. If one wanted to influence the direction of science, influencing these 'key opinion leaders' is all one would need to do.
-
That's a belief you & I share. The power is v concentrated. As in life, a few largely dictate the agenda to the many. Thread was long enough, otherwise I'd have looked up a damning review of the peer review system itself I saw recently too. Another gaping hole in the science net.

Or maybe it's this 'science', where half the evidence is selectively hidden and we call what remains 'scientific'? http://www.alltrials.net/find-out-more/why-this-matters/ … I could go on. There is plenty of room for debate. END

TY, John. I agree with your point about Charisse's behaviour, following me here to harass. What's clear from reading your tweets after is you've never dealt with Charisse & behaviour she's guilty of towards myself & others. Welcome to read my time line & hers, to inform yourself
-
My point about Charisse's behaviour was made to Charisse. But there's a notable lack of reference here to the points made about your own behaviour. Reflection time, methinks...
-
Because my you're judging my behaviour out of context. My behaviour is warranted, if you care to read my timeline & hers, you'll see that. I'm being a lot more civilised towards Charisse than she deserves. You can reflect on your own judgements made here then, John :)
