里面提到的 Colquhoun就是www.dcscience.net博客的作者
The trend has provoked an attempt by scientists and others to stem the rising tide of twaddle, gobbledygook and mumbo-jumbo. Colquhoun has taken a particular interest in trying to stop universities awarding BSc degrees in complementary and alternative medicine, using freedom of information legislation to try to get access to course literature. To Colquhoun (“72, dammit, and still doing science”), any university offering a BSc course in homeopathy might just as well be offering BSc courses in witchcraft or astrology. “There isn’t much one can do about high street homeopaths as long as they stay within the law,” he says. “It’s quite a different matter when universities start to teach students that amethysts emit ‘high yin energy’ and so on. That sort of nonsense corrupts the university and corrupts science itself.”
