I was a graduate student then and I remember how aghast I was upon reading the Beasley report. My PhD advisor called it `supervisory malpractice'. <br /><br />MisterBee.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-29506469354826926522018-08-30T13:43:44.756-05:002018-08-30T13:43:44.756-05:00APS, ACS, and MRS should do a 20th anniversary ses...APS, ACS, and MRS should do a 20th anniversary session thing at their annual meetings when that comes around to remind people that this can and does occur and has before with polywater and cold fusion and how to better catch and nip these "discoveries" in the bud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-91647041169203524172018-08-30T10:01:22.764-05:002018-08-30T10:01:22.764-05:00I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on ...I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Schon scandal. I was morbidly fascinated by it (I've read Reich's book) even though it was not quite in my field (I'm more soft matter/biophysics). Was there much informal grumbling in the field about the lack of reproducibility leading up to the final implosion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-24262399080902066792018-08-29T22:35:29.777-05:002018-08-29T22:35:29.777-05:00Mike S, that is not original to me: https://en.m....Mike S, that is not original to me: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagan_standard<br />I get what your saying, but it’s not unreasonable to say that extremely wild claims deserve very close scrutiny.Douglas Natelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340091255404229559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-60777280729282905082018-08-29T19:36:22.116-05:002018-08-29T19:36:22.116-05:00I take exception to this statement, "Extraord...I take exception to this statement, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
