Abstract
Lysenko was a powerful Soviet pseudoscientist, whose theories cost millions of lives. He died 50 years ago, but his legacy is highly salient. Anti-science and ideology come together slowly, and UK pseudoscience has had unforeseen consequences. Pseudoscience must be challenged even when this has repercussions for those who speak up.
