A new book on the lack of rigor in biomedical science
As a biomedical scientist at a solid US university, I&#x27;m getting pretty fed up with all the attacks on my field&#x27;s credibility. It&#x27;s similar to education where everyone moans about poor quality. While i cant speak to the average teacher I can honestly say the average researcher tries very hard to get it right. Remember most people don&#x27;t become biomedical scientists unless they worked hard for many, many years in school and beyond for often quite terrible wages. So you can hate the game (drug companies, academic journals), but please think through any hate you might have on the player.
