I have a new essay up at Heterodox Academy discussing the claim that science is self-correcting. I also dig a bit more into what we mean by “bias”.
As a reminder, Heterodox Academy is a motley crew of scholars concerned about ideological conformity and intolerance in modern academia. We’re privileged to have Jon Haidt, Steven Pinker, Phil Tetlock, Judith Curry, Scott Lilienfeld, Amy Wax, Lee Jussim, Jarret Crawford, and many other outstanding scholars.
Joe Duarte grew up in small copper mining towns in Southern Arizona, earned his PhD in social psychology in 2015, and focuses on political bias in media and academic research. For more from Joe, visit his new publication Valid Science.
You can also find him on 𝕏 and contact him at gravity at protonmail.com.

I work in one of the best hospitals in the country. Our Dr. Peter Pronovost has recently begun a program of seeking out and destroying causes of patient harm due to provider errors. His program is having remarkable success in other hospitals around the world.

The link to your essay, ’“On the ‘science is self correcting’ idea” leads to a 404 “no results found” page. A search on the site for the post yields no results. It appears to have been removed.
