Scientific Dishonesty

In other words, I firmly believe that the development of science and the extension of understanding is a public good. | Of course, there may be the extremely rare example of scientific dishonesty, which will be seized upon by the news organisations, but the role of science within modern society remains valuable. | I think we should be wary of the reporting of science - it is often over-dramatized in order to secure an audience - but not of science itself. | Mobile phones, for example, can cause incidents if drivers insist on talking on the phone instead of looking at roads. | But no one would deny that mobile phones can help us to make a phone call when we are under a crisis.
