Some very cool reading if you're bored...

<p>I'm writing a research paper on scientific fraud... so I've been floating around finding lots of sources. Somewhere along the line I discovered an article by Caltech Professor / Vice Provost David Goodstein (Phys 1a prof). Although I found most of my sources to be mildly interesting, I was really bowled over by Goodstein's articles-- first one on Millikan (In Defense of Robert Andrews Millikan) , then one called "Conduct and Misconduct in Science"... and then I read all the rest on his website. They are brief but very well written and powerful. You may not have the same reaction as I did, but I enjoyed Professor Goodstein's articles so much that I emailed him telling him so! </p>

<p>In any case, the articles I mentioned can be found at <a href="http://www.its.caltech.edu/%7Edg/articles.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.its.caltech.edu/~dg/articles.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thanks for the link to the analysis of Millikan's experiments.</p>

<p>Wow.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
