# *Scientocracy: The Tangled Web of Public Science and Public Policy*

In 2005 John Ioannidis of Stanford University published a paper with the dramatic title of “Why Most Published Research Findings are False.” Dismayingly, we now know that he was right. In *Scientocracy* we explore how science has gone wrong and illustrate it with examples from nutrition, radiation, climate, and other branches of research.
