The Broken Science Initiative is calling attention to the current state of modern science. It’s broken. It’s void of validation. Its deductivist approach stimulates results that cannot be replicated and its scientists are stuck in a publish or perish purgatory, finding “significance” at all costs. On The BSI Podcast, we're giving listeners access to our bank of lectures, interviews, and other deep-dive conversations exploring the faults of post-modern science.
This week on The Broken Science Podcast we look back at Emily’s introduction to the BSI’s event last February in Phoenix, Arizona. In post-modern science, the merits of a study are determined by consensus rather than the study’s predictive value. In her introduction to the event, Emily lays out how post-modern science came to be, and warns of it’s perils.
