Pharmaceutical Companies Struggling to Adhere to the Scientific Method?!


Hello Dr. Palmer,  I found a very interesting link you might like to share in class or use for your blog.  It appears, in a recent article of the New Yorker, that Pharmaceutical companies are struggling to adhere to the scientific method, or "defying" the scientific method in creating replicable data.  In my personal opinion, this simply means their experiments are flawed as they don't adhere to this method.  Nevertheless, it is showing up in a number of areas, implying there could be something more.  I hope you enjoy this article.  Here's the link:
