  Perversions of Science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perversions of Science was a science fiction/horror television series that ran on the cable channel HBO for one series.
The format of Perversions of Science is very similar to Tales From The Crypt, the show was introduced by a sexualized female robot named Chrome (voiced by Maureen Teefy) and then an individual episode would start.
Most episodes focused on a part of science fiction looking toward the future such as alien invasion or space/time travel.

 Perversions of Creation Science | Experimenting with Genesis 6:2
The asylum was abandoned in 1902 in the sad recognition that there weren't enough bricks to build asylums to house all the crazies in Canada, but it's halls still echoed with ghastly reminders of the atrocities committed there.
Apparently Dr. Greenbaulm's passion for using experiments in Creation Science to gather physical evidence to support the most difficult verses in the Bible had turned diabolical when left unchecked over the years.
Edwards found that the doctor was conducting experiments on human subjects, trying to extract the remnants of Angel DNA from their shoulder bones with nothing more than a hack saw and a pair of tweezers.

Such subtle and not-so-subtle perversions of science are very difficult to detect but have very real economic and health implications for American consumers.
Ultimately, private science could end up answering not to the public good but to the same pressures that drive stocks up and down.
Part of that success is due to the fact that science was not only well funded for so long but also had the independence to pursue its own ends.

 Variety.com - HBO makes '11th Hour' decision
Called "The 11th Hour," the strategy calls for HBO to run such high-profile original series as the second-year comedy "Arliss," the network's first original drama series "Oz," the offbeat new "Perversions of Science" and a collection of its vintage documentaries under the "Best of America Undercover" banner.
in the Monday timeslot, "Arliss" on Tuesdays, "Perversions of Science" on Wednesdays and the docus on Thursdays.
Dave Baldwin, senior VP program planning for HBO and Cinemax, said Wednesday that the plan stems from the fact that HBO's late-hour aud is nearly as large as in primetime.

 Between Art and Science: Mediator Perversions and Predicaments
This article explores apparent weaknesses in the theory and practice of the mediation process.
As a collection of thoughts, the themes presented here touch upon the entry into the field, the use of models, mediation as an “art” or a “science,” and the notion of fundamental concepts.
Like art, there are many who just don’t get it, but that’s okay because “mediation is very forgiving.” On the other hand, science embedded in a logical systematic thought process offers us an inkling of objectivity, principles, theories, laws, hypothesis, verifiability and paradigms.

, except with a little science fiction thrown in.
Sex is supposed to feature quite prominently in this series, but in the first episodes it's mainly been an excuse to show the majority of the female cast members topless.
Likewise with "Boxed In." Directed by William Shatner and based on a short story by Chris Miller, "Boxed In" goes for the funny bone but just didn't seem very depraved.
