I\u2019ve written several times about the reroducibility crisis. That crisis is the fact that an astoundingly large percentage of scientific experiments can\u2019t be reproduced by other researchers. That, of course, calls into question the validity of the original results.<\/p>\n
My traditional poster child for this is Psychology where the irreproducibility rate is around 40\u201350%: essentially a coin toss. But that\u2019s Psychology and for most studies it doesn\u2019t matter much whether the results are right or wrong. Sadly, the problem is much<\/i> more serious:<\/p>\n People in my mentions are accusing me of bullshitting when I say that the replication crisis is worse in medicine than psychology. I’m not. This survey in @nature<\/a> finds it effects all fields including chemistry & physics https:\/\/t.co\/gQScnCZPDt<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Claire Lehmann (@clairlemon) November 2, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
