Hi, Jo-Tzu and others-

I guess many asked the question. Thinking of the materials covered in the classes which include the vide tapes and lectures, I guess wrongly pursued scientific methods are sources of junk science. For example, if a researcher skip the proper way of presenting her or his findings just because she or he wants a fame, the result would become junk science.
