science has become bad...really bad

Talk about signal to noise ratio--meaningless scientific work and bad data drowns out meaningful experiments and good research. It's an industry now. Universities churn out PhDs, but there is no real quality control. So we have skyrocketing instances of fraud, retractions, conflicts of interest, etc. Yet scientists remain "the geniuses" of society. So then we have situations where the world celebrates a fraud like Hwang Woo-suk. Or where bogus stem cell therapies vastly outnumber effective stem cell therapies. Or where antisense technology that launched many biotech startups and was supposed to be a no-brainer approach to gene therapy turns out to be a crock of shit.
