SUMMARY:Broken Science Initiative - Phoenix Arizona
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Broken Science Initiative’s February 18\, 2023 event in Phoenix\, AZ. We are living through a time where critical thinking is discouraged\, drugs are routinely approved and pushed to market despite evidence that they don’t work and politicians are telling us to “believe in the science.” Validating and replicating results are no longer standard practice. It is estimated that more than 50 percent of medical research cannot be replicated and that number only increases when we look at cancer treatments\, dementia drugs and other critical areas of care.  \nScience\, once thought of as the empirical branch of knowledge\, is in a full fledged crisis. We’ve become complacent and tolerant and it’s time to wake up and take notice of how academic science has lost its way.  \nThe Broken Science Initiative is here to expose this corruption\, malfeasance and negligence. We have identified the roots of these problems in the philosophy of science. We’ve traced them through history up to our present day. While many people have become more aware of these issues with handling of the Covid-19 pandemic\, the erosion of science for political and financial gains began long before 2020. The BSI is offering anyone interested in an alternative to this mess a way to identify these problems and perhaps even apply simple methods to make better decisions for themselves and their families. We have no hope of fixing this for the world. It is too deeply entrenched. However\, we are dedicated to teaching any individual with the will to learn how to spot these problems. The power of critical thinking is available to anyone wanting to take back his or her right to think for themselves. It all begins with an understanding of what science is and what it is not. The BSI is here to define science and show how it was broken. \nOn February 18\, 2023 James Franklin\, Thomas Seyfried\, Malcolm Kendrick\, William Briggs and cofounders Greg Glassman and Emily Kaplan will discuss how predictability has been replaced by consensus in science. The speakers will begin their talks at noon and there will be a reception for all guests with open bar and light refreshments following the presentations.  \nEmily Kaplan\nEmily Kaplan’s Slides \nGreg Glassman\nGreg Glassman’s Slides \nWilliam Briggs\nWilliam Briggs’s Slides \nJames Franklin\nJames Franklin’s Slides \nThomas Seyfried\nThomas Seyfried’s Slides \nMalcom Kendrick\nMalcom Kendrick’s Slides \nAll Speakers Combined
