January 5th, 2007All contributions welcome either in confidential form (email to anthony@scienceguardian.com), or as posts in the Science Guardian Message Boards or in Comments, as long as personal insults and vindictive exposure of private email are kept out.
Thank you to all who have provided key information from inside the citadel.
Guidelines for Tips and Comments:
Friends, greetings: welcome to all without bias,
We hope that you will with an open mind try us.
But with all due respect we have to give warning,
That this space is not for establishment fawning.
Nor is conspiracy theory the truth that we teach,
And paranoids, please, use Hyde Park to preach,
It is scientific review that is welcome here
From any damned heretic who can think without fear.
The question we raise is, is top science reliable,
When billions pour in, or does it become all too buyable?
We invite all comers intent on defending
Good science with a standard of truth that’s unbending
To set aside politics, power games, positions and prizes,
And expose cosy backscratching in all its disguises,
Let’s reject venality, vanity, and PC censors,
And free pure science from social consensus.
Together we’ll review all conventional belief,
Without any regard as to who’ll come to grief,
In the light of the best studies in medicine and science,
These are the references on which we’ll place our reliance.
Yes we know very well they can also be twisted,
By the factors above that we sorrowfully listed,
Yes, all human endeavor is subject to bias,
But if you seek objectivity we hope you will try us.
