Physics and Astronomy Colloquium
in 131 Physics
Speaker: Ivan Schuller, University of California-San Diego
Subject: Pathological Science
Refreshments served in Room 216 Physics at 3:30 p.m.
I describe and categorize instances in which scientific research
can be categorized as "pathological". Several of these have become "cause celebre" and have received recent extensive attention in the published media. Out of these I draw the 13 Schuller Rules for Pathological Science and describe useful ways in which to judge scientific research.
