THE KNOWLEDGE WARS
When it comes to distinguishing the good from the bad (or delusional) the confusion for most of us is with information based in science. That confusion is dangerous. The Knowledge Wars suggest we are in the midst "of a
potential deadly conflict between the new knowledge based in science and the established power" Climate scientists have warned that we need to change our behaviour in ways that may be inconvenient and threaten the commercial status quo. The result has been a polarising division in society and a sustained attack on their research.
The Knowledge Wars is written from the viewpoint of an insider (in the medical sciences) and an outsider (in climate science). It is for non-scientists and asks us all to take on a more evidence-based view of the world.
Remember this - if you're a good cook or a committed gardener, you're already halfway to being a scientist!
Peter Doherty's pioneering research into human immune systems earned him the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1996. He divides his professional time between the University of Melbourne and St Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, where he is helping unravel the mystery of
childhood cancer.
