Scary Science: NPR Correspondent Talks Unreliable Medical Research

Courtesy Richard Harris Twitter

  

NPR Science Correspondent Richard Harris joins Midday for a conversation about the reliability of biomedical research. He's talking about his fascinating and frankly, kinda scary new bookRigor Mortis: How Sloppy Science Creates Worthless Cures, Crushes Hope, and Wastes Billions.  Discussion of disconcerting data begs the question, is science really getting sloppier?

Audio for this segment will be posted at 3pm.

Host, Midday (M-F 12:00-1:00)
