About Science Without Sense

Unscientific public health research costs U.S. consumers billions of dollars each year but does nothing to improve the well-being of Americans. To mock the sorry state of public health research, Steven J. Milloy has written this humorous, tongue-in-cheek guide to getting ahead in the field without wasting time on real science. The author says there are some in the public health field who don't feel constrained by the scientific method or its principles, and they are actually a threat to the health and well-being of all Americans.
