PIDapalooza 2020

Science has always been a messy and disjointed enterprise. However ugly, we clumsily lurch towards creating a more clear understanding of ourselves and our world. Along with one of the best methods we have not to fool ourselves (the scientific method), we have a tool for memory – the scientific record, which has been neglected for far too long. This presentation will outline some of the history of how we arrived at where we are, the costs of continuing on this pot-hole ridden path, and a proposed way forward that can create a smooth and danceable highway of discovery. The end of the talk will feature an interpretative dance by audience volunteers.
