北京市科协副主席张开逊近日撰文指出:“名人效应”有时会助长和保护伪科学。公众出于对科学家的崇敬,在判断科学是非的时候,往往想听听科学家怎么说,这是一种利于文明进程的社会心理。但有时候公众会把信赖科学和信赖科学家等同起来。当科学家对一起自己不熟悉的事情轻易表态时,就会被伪科学利用。那 Zhang Caixun, vice chairman of Beijing Association for Science and Technology, recently wrote: “Celebrity Effect” sometimes encourages and protects pseudoscience. The public out of reverence for scientists, in judging the right and wrong of science, often want to hear what scientists say, this is a social psychology conducive to the process of civilization. But sometimes the public equates trusting science with trusting scientists. Scientists make use of pseudoscience when they readily state themselves with things they are unfamiliar with. that
