Science: David Goodstein: Fraud in Science
Millikan's historic measurement of the electronâs charge has been maligned by accusations of fraud, but so was Bednorz and Mller's seemingly impossible discovery of high-temperature superconductivity, and that turned out to be real. Fraud in science is not as easy to detect, or even correctly define, as you might thinkâjust witness the latest controversy over the e-mail exchange between climate scientists at East Anglia. Physicist and Caltech Professor David Goodstein, author of On Fact and Fraud, examines cases in which fraud was committed or alleged, and teases out what constitutes scientific misconduct and what doesn't. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft.
