Abstract
Uncertainty is the driving force of good science. It is uncertainty that stimulates research on which the scientific method and, indeed, human progress itself depends. Without it—as with Democritus of Abdera’s claim that all matter consists of “atoms and empty space”—“all else is mere opinion.” In The Republican War on Science, author Chris Mooney shows just how far afield and afoul opinion can drag good science. “Opinion” may, in fact, be too kind a word for the systematic and systemic crusade by the Republican Party to discredit and dismantle reputable science and scientists to further economic and Religious Right interests.
