Bad Science
Bad Science abounds and comes in many guises. This
page sets out to attack only one brand: well understood phenomena
which are persistently presented incorrectly by teachers and writers,
presumably because they either do not know any better or because they
don't really care enough to get it correct. By publicizing examples of bad
science, I hope to sensitize students, teachers and writers to the horrors
of such glib explanations or representations.

Manager! When you start to play, you'll see Dumptown at its worst - it's littered, polluted, and nothing is being recycled or reused. There

that encourage Dumptown's citizens and businesses to recycle and
reduce waste.
