Inside the Story: Gary Taubes

Inside the Story: Gary Taubes: "I had spent my career writing about good and bad science and the difficulties of establishing reliable knowledge, so I think I am considerably more open to the possibility that academic 'experts' with impressive credentials can be misguided, if not dead wrong. I think the criteria by which I judge science and scientists is very different than many, if not most journalists, and those criteria were passed on to me by some very, very good scientists in the course of some long and arduous investigations, both scientific and journalistic."
