Jerry Ravetz and Frank Miedema respond to The Economist

Now that the myth of a ‘science’ that is pure and certain is busted by The Economist, the conference ‘Science in Transition’ suddenly becomes highly relevant. This says Jerry Ravetz in an article published on this website today.

Ravetz: “This is truly a crisis, both a danger and an opportunity. All the strong practical reasons for covering up corruption are still relevant. But now that the secret is out, the reasons for swift and honest reactions are dominant.”
