Pandora's Lab is a pro-science book. Science fails, he believes, when it fa=
lls short of its own standards. For science to work, it needs to base its c=
laims on data, and the studies need to be replicable. Science goes astray w=
hen scientists, who are, of course, only human, get caught up in their own =
ideas and their (sometimes) laudable goals. A good scientist gives up theor=
y when it is unsupported by data. This is what the quack-doctor Andrew Wake=
field refused to do when study after study showed there to be no link betwe=
en autism and the MMR vaccine, and what Linus Pauling refused to do in the =
face of evidence that, his insistence to the contrary notwithstanding, Vita=
