Description
The alarming truth about biomedical research. American taxpayers spend billions annually funding medical studies, but nearly half of these can't be replicated due to flawed experimental design and poor statistics. This has serious consequences for patients, particularly those with terminal illnesses. In "Rigor Mortis", Richard Harris explores the urgent issues plaguing the biomedical system, using vivid anecdotes and interviews with top researchers. He sheds light on how bad science can hinder medical progress and even lead to devastating outcomes. Harris's investigation highlights the need for reform in the biomedical research sector. With compelling storytelling and expert insights, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of the problems facing medical research today.
