Whereas small children try to scare us but once a year, every day is Halloween for the junk science lobby. What exactly is junk science? In a word, fraud. In a sentence, it's faulty scientific data and analysis used to advance a special interest. In his new book Junk Science Judo, author Steven Milloy-proprietor of the award-winning junkscience.com, author of Science without Sense, and coauthor of Silencing Science-discusses how to separate good science from bad and how to fight back against the peddlers of statistical pap.
