An insider's view of science reveals why many scientific results cannot be relied upon - and how the system can be reformed.

Science is how we understand the world. Yet failures in peer review and mistakes in statistics have rendered a shocking number of scientific studies useless - or, worse, badly misleading. Such errors have distorted our knowledge in fields as wide-ranging as medicine, physics, nutrition, education, genetics, economics, and the search for extraterrestrial life. A...

Written in a clear, conversational style, this book provides a solid introduction to such topics as relations, functions, and cardinalities of sets, as well as the theoretical aspects...

Moleculen vind je letterlijk overal. Ze vormen alles om ons heen en zelf bestaan we ook uit deze superkleine bouwstenen. In dit boek bespreken Nobelprijswinnaar Ben Feringa en collegachemicus Anouk Lubbe de belangrijkste moleculen uit onze directe omgeving. Zo lezen we over moleculen in onze kleding, over stoffen in frisdranken, over aminozuren in ons lichaam, over de wonderbaarlijke kwaliteiten van grafeen, over moleculen waar we dronken, vrolijk of juist ziek van worden, over het synthetisc...

Over klimaatverandering doen de meest uiteenlopende verhalen de ronde. De ene krantenkop vraagt zich af: ‘Hoezo opwarming?’ terwijl elders valt te lezen: ‘De mensheid stevent af op een klimaatcatastrofe’. Geen wonder dat veel mensen in verwarring zijn en niet weten hoe de vork in de steel zit.

In het publieke debat lopen de meningen over klimaatverandering sterk uiteen, ook over feitelijke aspecten die wetenschappelijk gezien heel helder zijn. Zo weten we al sinds de negentiende eeuw ...
