Do cell phones cause brain cancer? Does BPA threaten our health? How safe are certain dietary supplements especially those containing exotic herbs or small amounts of toxic substances? Is the HPV vaccine safe? We depend on science & medicine as never before yet there is widespread misinformation & confusion amplified by the media regarding what influences our health In Getting Risk Right Geoffrey C Kabat shows how science works-and sometimes doesn't-and what separates these two very different outcomes Kabat seeks to help us distinguish between claims that are supported by solid science & those that are the result of poorly designed or misinterpreted studies By exploring different examples he explains why certain risks are worth worrying about while others are not He emphasizes the variable quality of research in contested areas of health risks as well as the professional political & methodological factors that can distort the research process Drawing on recent systematic critiques of biomedical research & on insights from behavioral psychology Getting Risk Right examines factors both internal & external to the science that can influence what results get attention & how questionable results can be used to support a particular narrative concerning an alleged public health threat In this book Kabat provides a much-needed antidote to what has been called an epidemic of false claims ...

When Galileo dropped cannon-balls from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa he did more than overturn centuries of scientific orthodoxy At a stroke he established a new conception of the scientific method based upon careful experimentation & rigorous observation
- & also laid the groundwork for an ongoing conflict between the critical open-mindedness of science & the recalcitrant dogmatism of religion that would continue to the modern day The problem is that Galileo never performed his most celebrated experiment in Pisa In fact he rarely conducted any experiments at all The Church publicly celebrated his work & Galileo enjoyed patronage from the great & the powerful; his ecclesiastical difficulties only began when disgruntled colleagues launched a campaign to discredit their academic rival But what does this tell us about modern science if its own foundation myth turns out to be nothing more than political propaganda? Getting Science Wrong discusses some of the most popular misconceptions about science & their continuing role in the public imagination Drawing upon the history & philosophy of science it challenges wide-spread assumptions & misunderstandings from creationism & climate change to the use of statistics & computer modelling The result is an engaging introduction to contentious issues in the philosophy of science & a new way of looking at the role of science in society
