When Scientists Sin - Michael Shermer in Scientific American - 0 views

  •  
    Unfortunately, says Feynman's Caltech colleague David Goodstein in his new book On Fact and Fraud: Cautionary Tales from the Front Lines of Science (Princeton University Press, 2010), some scientists do try to fool their colleagues, and believing that everyone is conventionally honest may make a person more likely to be duped by deliberate fraud. Nature may be subtle, but she does not intentionally lie. People do. Why some scientists lie is what Goodstein wants to understand.

bura rub « ki.ber.kom.uni.st - 2 views

  • Lucidni, duhoviti rokabili sa gomilom geekovskih interesa dobio je priliku da bude super heroj. Tu su mu priliku namjestili znanstvenici kojima je od svih stvari u kojima je znanost marginalizirana u našem društvu izabrali TV emisiju ‘Na rubu znanosti’. Razlog tome je i da su znanstvenici tradicionalno medijski nepismeni. Super kombinacija za budalasanje svih vrsta. Volio bih da su se znanstvenici nekad pobunili protiv vjeronauka u školama. Protiv udžbenika povijesti, protiv uređaja protiv uroka u osnovnim školama, protiv certificiranih znanstvenika koji lupetaju o religiji, magiji, teorijama zavjera… Ovako su izabrali nadmetati se za svoje mjesto na medijskoj margini. Jer nacionalna televizija je ta koja legitimira. Jebo te bog da te jebo.

If sports got reported like science.. - Items Of Interest - 2 views

  •  
    A couple of times recently I've heard people complaining that sports coverage in the news is expected to be highly technical and laced with jargon, but that if a science or technology story uses any specialist language or jargon whatsoever it's derided publicly as "elitist" and "inaccessible".

Why Science Needs to Step Up Its PR Game (Wired) - 1 views

  • “Scientists hate the word spin. They get bent out of shape by the concept that they should frame their message,” says Jennifer Ouellette, director of the Science and Entertainment Exchange, a National Academy of Sciences program that helps connect the entertainment industry with technical consultants. “They feel that the facts should speak for themselves. They’re not wrong; they’re just not realistic.” By and large, Dash says, “scientists have withdrawn from the sphere of public culture. They have contempt for the lighthearted fun of communication.”
