ESP Biography

Science is seldom correct at first but has the remarkable ability to course-correct and reorient itself over time. We’ll take a look at a few examples to see how science has been led astray in the past and how the work of diligent scientists works to seal these cracks. In each case study, we’ll ask the question of why it occurred - from limited tools to individual deception to broader social forces. Some of the topics we will cover are the death of alchemy and the Schön scandal. You should hopefully walk away with an appreciation for the scientific community and a few good historical stories.
