Science Needs Vigilantes

[rdean]

None of which have a damned thing to do with accusations that the GOP is cutting science, dumb shit.

When you have scientists complaining their data is being sabotaged, that is cutting science funding. Because those funds were wasted. When you have funds diverted to study something unnecessary, again - "wasted". When you spend money making more advanced bombs, can you really call it "science"?

That is all partisan bullshit.

Data sabotage is not a cut in funding, nor is research you disagree with, nor is it a cut when tech is advanced.

Again, you display yourself to be a liar and a partisan hack.

Why do you have to explain everything to right wingers. No wonder so few a scientists. They can't seem to get the hang of "learning" and "thinking".

Lol, you make shit up and then blame the audience for not understanding?

You are a fucking loser, dude, get used to your mama's basement.

A to Z Guide to Political Interference in Science | Union of Concerned Scientists

More than 15,000 of your scientist colleagues--including 52 Nobel Laureates--have spoken out against political interference; urge the president (Bush) and Congress to restore scientific integrity to federal policy making.

U.S. Germ-Research Policy Is Protested by 758 Scientists

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2005 - More than 700 scientists sent a petition on Monday to the director of the National Institutes of Health protesting what they said was the shift of tens of millions of dollars in federal research money since 2001 away from pathogens that cause major public health problems to obscure germs the government fears might be used in a bioterrorist attack.

Data sabotage is not a cut in funding

You ARE a stooge. First, it looks like you approve of "Data sabotage". Second, if the money spent collecting that data was wasted because the data was sabotaged, then the money might as well have then thrown away or cut for all the good it did.

Did that really have to be explained?

Lol, you make shit up and then blame the audience for not understanding?

That's why I post links from reputable sources. To help teach people such as yourself. Somehow I missed the links supporting your ignorant rants. Oh, that's right, because they are unsupported ignorant rants.

Lately, there have been increasing numbers of online, unofficial – what might be called vigilante – investigations into published scientific work.

vigilance

The blog Retraction Watch and its comment section are a good example of this. Commenters, often anonymous, will get onto the trail of a certain researcher (generally following a retraction) and scrutinize their publications (e.g. here) looking for plagiarism, image manipulation, statistically improbable data, or other evidence of bad practice.

At last, people are beginning to question “scientific findings” to determine whether or not they're politically motivated or actually good science. This article has lots of links and is well-worth reading @ Science Needs Vigilantes - Neuroskeptic | DiscoverMagazine.com

Are you qualified to make those judgments? What is your scientific background? Are you able to discuss a paper's technical merits based on what you know for yourself, or are you only going on second- and third-hand knowledge that may or may not be biased?

You don't have to be a fucking scientist to see how these whores change their tune depending on who is paying them to do the research.

You are such a fucking stooge, I swear. You are the perfect example of a truly ignorant Republican. Whatever you call yourself, you are the perfect example.

Lol, I cant be the only person here who remembers all the conflicting studies and research done to prove/disprove that cigarette smoking caused cancer? That eating oatmeal did/did not help lose weight? all the research that supported the idea that consuming alcohol was bad for you in no matter what amounts, but now red wine can make you live for ever? Whoever paid for the research got their results. The field of science has the most expensive whores on the planet outside of politicians and lawyers.

Lol, you are a fucking retard, RDean.
