I heard last night from Michio Kaku with his list of topics we're likely to cover when he interviews me tonight about my book Corrupted Science for his radio programme Science Fantastic:
1) Fraudulent Scientists
Piltdown man
Tobacco lobby
South Korean clone experiments
2) Seeing what they wanted to see
Pons and Fleishman
3) Military Madness
CIA’s investigation into occult
4) The one true book
Creationism
5) Ideology trumps science
Lysenko, Hitler
6) The political corruption of science
Bush’s policiesThat's quite a range of stuff to discuss, so my guess is we won't cover all of it. Still, it'll be fun trying.
Now to spend the day swotting . . .

Oh, how rotten -- huge sympathies. Hope all is well again soon.

Date: 2009-01-17 03:12 pm (UTC)See, this is what makes you a good editor. I meant, but did not say, the interview topics sound like fun. I lack precision.

Please tell all your wealthy publishing friends this.

Date: 2009-01-17 05:58 pm (UTC)I'm surprised it hasn't been.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-18 03:22 am (UTC)In the event we got through only about half the topics, so didn't even get to #6. Luckily, though, a caller raised the topic of global warming so I was able to fit in some indication that political corruption of science is not just something that happens overseas. Michio was pretty strong on the subject too.
