ROBERT N. PROCTOR
'Robert N. Proctor' (1954 - ) is an American science historian and Professor of the History of Science at Stanford University.[1] While a professor of the history of science at the University of Pennsylvania in 1999, he became the first historian to testify against the tobacco industry.[2]
At Pennsylvania State University, he and his wife, Londa Schiebinger, co-directed the Science, Medicine and Technology in Culture Program for nine years. The couple met at Harvard, where they earned their master's and doctoral degrees in 1977 and 1984, respectively.[3]
He coined the term "agnotology" to describe the study of culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data.[4][5]
