Searching for a book on science

[RGG]

Hi everyone,
My husband is a senior research scientist working for the government and it has recently come to light that his boss is a psychopath-shocker I know. We both understand psychopathy well enough but I remember seeing a reference somewhere on this forum made by Laura about a book that examins pathocracy within the scientific community specifically (I think). She mentioned that this book was very helpful for both her and Ark in understanding what happens to real science and scientist. i can't seem to find the reference to it anywhere doing the searches and it is not on the reading list. Does anyone here know what I'm referring too??

Thank you for any help offered

Rx, I think you might be thinking of this post by Laura:

I also just finished reading "Rethinking Thin: The New Science of Weight
Loss--and the Myths and Realities of Dieting" which is an account of the
science of diet/weight/obesity research and I feel totally sick.

Ark told me that some guy wrote a comment on his blog recently that he
believed that all politicians AND scientists need to be shot - done away
with altogether.

Well, reading this book "Rethinking Thin" gives you a pretty good
understanding of why so many people think that way. I highly recommend
it not just for the science which is useful for everyone, but for the
overview of how science is controlled.

Yes, I think that's it.

Thanks so much Mada85!
