Dark Matter. What’s science got to hide?

16 December 2011

The latest issue of Index on Censorship magazine is an examination of censorship in science including articles examining the use and abuse of freedom of information, the battle for open data and limits to scientific debate. Sense About Science Director Tracey Brown explains how fear of legal action is jeopardising the open exchange of ideas in her article ‘Choking Debate’ which Index has kindly allowed us to host. You can read the entire issue, including an article from Dr Peter Wilmshurst on whistle blowing in medicine, by subscribing to the magazine here and watch the debate on ‘Is transparency bad for science?’ featuring George Monbiot, Onora O'Neil, Mark Walport and Professor David Colquhoun at the launch of the magazine.
