The “Bad Science” Fiction: Reclaiming the Debate over the Role of Science in Public Health and Environmental Regulation.
Part of a special issue on science in the regulatory process. The science underlying existing federal agency regulations is far from perfect, but such a situation is far better than it would be should various reform proposals be implemented; because “good science” reforms have the potential to caus...
