S4 E11 | An Ounce of Prevention: Overestimated Harm Motivates Science Censorship
Manage episode 412085272 series 2976992
In this week's episode Mike and Elizabeth talk about trends in the censorship of scientific results. Recent research suggests one explanation for censorship behavior is misguided hyper-concern for others reactions. Scientific findings were rated as potentially harmful, and less beneficial, if they were controversial or confusing. We discuss the implications for the marketplace of ideas and scientific inquiry in the current socio political environment. Biased cost-benefit analyses can undermine the advancement of research and influence funding decisions. Hypervigilant concerns may fuel academic cancellation campaigns, paper and presentation rejections, and journal article retractions.
