"A rewarding read for anyone who wants to know the unvarnished truth about how science really gets done."--Financial Times
An essential book to understanding whether the new miracle cure is good science or simply too good to be true
American taxpayers spend $30 billion annually funding biomedical research, but over half of these studies can''t be replicated due to poor experimental design, improper methods, and sloppy statistics. Bad science doesn''t just hold back medical progress, it can sign the equivalent of a death sentence for terminal patients. In Rigor Mortis, Richard Harris explores these urgent issues with vivid anecdotes, personal stories, and interviews with the top biomedical researchers. We need to fix our dysfunctional biomedical system -- before it''s too late.
