Weekend reading: Why Trust Science?

In the wake of all the media fuss over the “don’t worry, eat meat” papers published on Monday (see my summary), my favorite is a tweet from Naomi Oreskes, one of the authors of Merchants of Doubt, an analysis of the tobacco and chemical industries’ playbook in action.

Thanks Naomi.

I’ve just ordered a copy of her new book.  Can’t wait for it to arrive.
