So-kalled WiFi research
Posted to Author: Hale, B. | Health | Risk & Uncertainty | Testing
Last week it was the Journal of Geoclimatic Science and benthic bacteria, this week it's the Australasian Journal of Clinical Environmental Medicine and autism. The Sokal phemonemon is back with a vengeance, though this time it appears to be just plain fakery.
Matt Drudge has is viewers linking to an article that was, for a short stint this afternoon, published on the Computer Weekly website. The article warned of the dangers of WiFi for children. It cited an article by Dr. George Carlo in the Australasian Journal of Clinical Environmental Medicine claiming that WiFi causes heavy metals to be caught in brain cells. Only problem? Journal no existy.
Here's a slightly cynical overview. You can also check out the authors at the
Quackometer.
