Fake is not just for news any more. A recent headline at the Daily Wire highlighted some revelations about research into Alzheimers.
This trumpets the issue of fake science and fake research. We hear a lot about how we need to trust the science. If we don’t comply we are called _____________ deniers. Fill in the blank any way you want. The reason we are skeptical is because it is becoming common for research to be faked and no one bothers to check. This has been a problem for a long time but it takes something like this to bring it to the public’s attention.
Whether the public will remember tomorrow is another question. It is not just the elderly who have short memories.
