Best idea I've seen all day....people taking Congress to task for having no system for vetting scientific testimony. (H/T to Maggie's Farm)
Apparently what sent them over the edge was when a scientist misquoted his own paper during testimony, skewing his own research. Yikes.
One of the authors website is here....haven't had time to look around much.
I could easily see myself misquoting me.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I would hope if you were speaking in front of Congress, you'd jot down a few notes. And maybe...um, not forget that the level of mercury had actually been dropping for 50 years when you were testifying how bad it was.
