Errol Morris has this “Op-Doc” (Opinion-Documentary, as odd as that sounds) over at the New York Times. Technically, it’s about historical research, but I think the phenomenon holds true for biology, as well. As interviewee Tink Thompson puts it, “if you put any event under the microscope, you will find a whole dimension of completely weird, incredible things going on”. I’ve always loved Morris’ work. A lot of it deals with issues of knowing—how we know what we know, how we sometimes deceive ourselves, what evidence does or doesn’t say. Important issues for any scientist.
