Científicos brillantes que la cagan al opinar de materias que no - TopicsExpress



          

Científicos brillantes que la cagan al opinar de materias que no dominan o que simplemente demuestran que, como humanos, no son perfectos. Me ha resultado irónico que esto lo haya reseñado precisamente Dawkins: What do we do when scientific idols fail to live up to the ideals we hold them to? Watson and Crick’s elegant work on the DNA structure is a fantastic case study of how science can succeed, a product of elegant theoretical work, some ingenious modeling, and (sadly unacknowledged) collaboration with experimentalists like Rosalind Franklin to test and refine their modeling. When a prominent scientist abuses the power and prestige his science won him, especially when he abuses his science to advance a political agenda, and most especially when his claims are at odds with the science itself, it is critical to call him out.
