    Fraud in biomedical research, though relatively uncommon, damages the scientific community by diminishing the integrity of the ecosystem and sending other scientists down fruitless paths. When exposed and publicized, fraud also reduces public respect for the research enterprise, which is required for its success. Although the human frailties that contribute to fraud are as old as our species, the response of the research community to allegations of fraud has dramatically changed. This is well illustrated

    Project MUSE - Conspiracy, Complicity, Critique - 2 year(s) ago

    The coronavirus pandemic and the storming of the Capitol have created a perfect storm of conspiracism, especially visible on social media. Many commentators have returned to Richard Hofstadter’s analysis of the “paranoid style in American politics” to make sense of the surge of conspiracy-minded populism and the spread of disinformation. Conspiracism is usually framed as beyond the pale of…

      Anti-vax conspiracy theories in USA are strongly linked to the anti-intellectualist, anti-authoritarian far-right, and aligned with right-wing news channels and organised political protest (including the January 6th insurrection). https://t.co/dq1tg2xMJc 9/

    Project MUSE - A Critique of Critical Psychiatry - 2 year(s) ago

    The late Thomas Szasz’s work was highly influential for several decades following his 1960 essay The Myth of Mental Illness (1960; 1974).
