Ep. 100 - Believe the Science?
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
P&C drink Southern Belle, an imperial brown ale, then discuss problems in science. It would be nice to believe that we can rely on science. Scientists are supposed to be dispassionate, purely rational people who follow the evidence where it leaves. P&C call BS. Science is as influenced by politics, ideology, ambition, egos, trends and fads as anything else. So how are we supposed to "trust the science"? And what is "the science" anyway?
