Cold Spring Harbor, NY – In an ever-changing digital landscape, Inside Science: Revolution in Biology and Its Impact ponders the effects of changes in the way science is communicated, and how the digital era will continue to change science communication. Lewin draws on his years of experience in scientific publishing to ask whether the pressure to publish is damaging to not just researchers but science itself. Lewin goes further to question the dogma that scientific papers describe how research was actually done. He studies the prevalence of fraud in science in order to protect itself. With AI-driven technologies on the rise, Lewin attempts to discover how AI will change science, for better or for worse.
Through a historical lens, Lewin attempts to contextualize his ideas, starting from the history of the genetics revolution to the possibilities of gene editing today. He examines these turning points in scientific history and shows us that each period of progress in science relied on dogmas that often advanced, but sometimes slowed progress.
Needed now more than ever, Lewin provides objective and honest truth in his discoveries, and does not shy away from letting his readers know the truth.
“Persuasive and thought-provoking, Benjamin Lewin’s Inside Science examines how big data is changing biological research…a brilliant analysis of the history of the scientific method alongside a clarion call to consider the changes underway with big data and AI.” —Foreword Reviews
