Benjamin Lewin Interview Episode 66

Matt Crawford speaks with author Benjamin Lewin about his book, Inside Science: Revolution in Biology and Its Impact. Drawing on 25 years of experience as the founding editor of CELL, the world's leading journal in biology, Lewin questions the dogma that scientific papers describe how research was done, the distortions caused by pressure to publish and considers the effects of changes in the way science is communicated as we move further into a digital era. A great book that bridges the scientific and layperson communities in an easy to digest read.
