Good science reporting is rare; good science policy is also, sadly, rare. Reporters and Politicians exhibit their ignorance of the scientific method on a daily basis. Misunderstanding and misusing science, often aided and abetted by scientists who should know better but are prone to all the usual human foibles, has caused untold suffering. Banning DDT, the most useful agent for controlling the mosquito vectors of malaria, because of Rachel Carson's fantasies, has caused the death of millions of poor Africans. Anthropogenic Global Warming, vaccine panics, deluded approaches to AIDS, all are examples of science based on emotions rather than data. The Sanity Squad is here to help.
