RE: So you wanted to be a scientist? Let me tell you what's happening in academia today!

in #science7 years ago (edited)

@lys I started out with dreaming of a career in physics, I am thankful that I gained insight into the depths of engineering civilization - so much needs to improve that it is beyond mere researchers in academia, no it goes to the very foundation of the worldwide monetary system.

Which connects to why certain projects can be funded (regardless of the costs) over the more meritorious projects costing less and potentially more beneficial to humanity as a whole. Again the amount of research & engineering that goes into destructive warfare is a travesty and unethical use when you consider behavioural science deployed in mass deception and military grade psyops.

I've written about the "New Record, Over 100 Peer Reviewed Studies Was Retracted From Cancer Journal" - this is not simply greed it is a symptom ...

I'm glad you are seeing the moral conflict and sharing your observations.

Sort:  

wow, did not know about that about the cancer studies, imagine how much damage this can do to medicine and trust of patients in their cure. Do you have a link?

Sure @lys , Fake Science: A New Record, Over 100 Peer Reviewed Studies Was Retracted From Cancer Journal
There were previous published fake peer review that I wrote about years earlier, and I had hoped the problems were addressed but this showed that the peer-review process is systemically flawed...

Looks interesting! Thanks for the link. I hope to write another article about the issues around scientific publishing and the journal industry. This might give some more ammunition!

Ha-ha, No shortage there it's an industrial ammunition manufacturing plant! LOL 😃

Look into astronomy and see the "Red-shift" star light controversy; once again peer review process was problematic...
Happy hunting - ahem, researching!
