    Cancelled Science... Who is that behind the curtain?

    When I first ventured into the world of marketing (out of which I evolved many years ago), there was a popular theory that if the research did not support the theory, it was of course wrong (the research, not the theory)! No doubt many marketeers lived to regret their gut feeling when they were proven wrong.

    Is science like a Jackson Pollock?

    However, it did cross my mind the other day as I re-read the second version of the Global Burden of Disease (I must get a social life!) that science can have a Pollock-like effect when it lures you in with squiggly lines and blotches but as you turn it round you realise that it is in fact has a different meaning.
