Why Many Scientific Findings Don’t Hold Up Under Scrutiny: Emily Kaplan
“We don’t know who the peer reviewers are. Imagine opening a newspaper and there’s no masthead. You don’t know who any of the editors are? There’s no accountability for why this work got through or not?”
In this episode, I sit down with Emily Kaplan. She is an investigative journalist, author, business leader, and passionate advocate for women’s health and for a return to what she calls “the roots of true scientific exploration.”
“We’re one of two countries where you can directly market pharmaceutical products to consumers,” says Ms. Kaplan.
Today, she is the co-founder and CEO of the Broken Science Initiative, an alternative approach to health and science that promotes predictive value, access to data, and prioritizing patient welfare over profit.
“My sense is we’re not going to fix these big systematic problems, but you can empower the individual to critically think about things and allow them to make better choices for themselves and their family. So, that’s really the goal of the Broken Science Initiative,” says Ms. Kaplan.
We discuss various forms of scientific misconduct, touching on peer review, statistical manipulation, and the over-medicalization of childbirth.
“The highest predictor of whether you’re going to have a C-section or not is what hospital you deliver in. It’s not you. It’s not your doctor. It’s the hospital,” says Ms. Kaplan.
