GREEN CRAP
We Stand By It as a Theatrical Work How
Science Is Going Wrong: ‘In the 1950s, when modern academic research
took shape after its successes in the second world war, it was still a
rarefied pastime. The entire club of scientists numbered a few hundred
thousand. As their ranks have swelled, to 6m-7m active researchers on
the latest reckoning, scientists have lost their taste for
self-policing and quality control. The obligation to ‘publish or
perish’ has come to rule over academic life. Competition for jobs is
cut-throat’
