About this listen
We’re kicking off season two with a return to the science behind the science – this time, focusing on science controversies. We’d like to think that everything in science runs smoothly all the time – but, like any other part of life, that’s not always the case.
From Zimbardo’s Stanford prison experiment and Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent MMR vaccine–autism claims, to smallpox vaccine development and Purdue Pharma’s misrepresenting opioid addiction, we’re dissecting real-world examples of controversial scientific moments.
Show Notes
- Brian Deer exposes Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent claims
- Zimbardo’s famous prison experiment – and were participants faking it?
- Purdue Pharma’s downplaying of the risk of addiction to OxyContin
- Find out more about Milgram's experiment on obedience to authority
