Is Eric Turkheimer a Scientist?
<p>Eric Nathan Turkheimer, the Hugh Scott Hamilton Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia, is much more likely to be a meretricious fraud promoting skullduggery than he is to be a scientist. He has committed himself to the misrepresentation of science, its history, and the actors within it, for clearly ideological reasons. His scientific <em>raison d’être</em> has already been declared, and it is not only unscientific but anti-scientific. In this piece, I elaborate and substantiate this claim, showing that Turkheimer has produced weak research, knowingly misrepresented findings, and treated himself to statistical liberties that would be unacceptable across the political divide. He has done this and more for the purpose of striking at the credibility of scholars with whom he disagrees for ideological reasons.</p>
