BBC The Inquiry - Is the Knowledge Factory Broken?

Academic research stands accused of turning a blind eye to dodgy data, failing to reconcile contradictory findings and valuing money over knowledge. We examine the criticisms, which go the very heart of our pursuit of knowledge.

Interesting 23-minute podcast touching on a lot of issues relevant to the BPS brigade and ME research, although they aren't mentioned, and the problems seem a lot more widespread than just our little corner.

I sometimes hear The Inquiry on BBC World Service. I haven't heard that episode, but maybe it hasn't aired here yet. ... I see that it runs on Friday night here. I hope that one is on this Friday and not last Friday.
