Dr Jon Turney science writer and consultant Taking a contrarian view just for the sake of it is - most of the time - unlikely to be correct
I should teach the world that while history suggests that scientific mavericks have occasionally turned out to be correct, taking a contrarian view just for the sake of it is - most of the time - unlikely to be correct. Jon Turney is author of Frankenstein's Footsteps: Science, Genetics and Popular Culture (buy this book from Amazon (UK) or Amazon (USA)), and editor of Science, Not Art: 10 Scientists' Diaries (buy this book from Amazon (UK)). See his website.
