Journal Article
Hinks, J., Bush, J., Andras, P., Garratt, J., Pigott, G., Kennedy, A., & Pless-Mulloli, T. (2009). Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK. Science of the Total Environment, 407(4), 1299-1306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2008.10.056

This study examined how groups representing four tiers in the chemical supply chain (manufacturers, vendors, workers and consumers) understood safety information, and the factors that influenced disposal behaviour. Data from seven, semi-structured, f... Read More about Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK.

Stimulating revolutionary science with mega-cash prizes (2008)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2008). Stimulating revolutionary science with mega-cash prizes. Medical Hypotheses, 70(4), 709-713. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2008.01.001

We argue that the most ambitious science is intrinsically riskier science, more likely to fail. It is almost always a safer career strategy for the best scientists to seek to extend knowledge more modestly and to build incrementally on existing ideas...

‘Down-shifting’ among top UK scientists? – The decline of ‘revolutionary science’ and the rise of ‘normal science’ in the UK compared with the USA (2008)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2008). ‘Down-shifting’ among top UK scientists? – The decline of ‘revolutionary science’ and the rise of ‘normal science’ in the UK compared with the USA. Medical Hypotheses, 70(3), 465-472. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2007.12.004

It is sometimes asserted that UK science is thriving, at other times that it has declined. We suggest that both assertions are partly true because the UK is thriving with respect to the volume of ‘normal’ science production but at the same time decli...
