The Crises Of Science



An in-depth analysis of peer-reviewed papers published in the most prestigious publications has revealed that (depending on the category) the reproducibility of scientific finding ranges between 10 and 39 percent.  This is shocking. Reproducibility is a core tenant of the scientific method.  The reasons range from outright fraud to deliberately using small sample sizes measuring a large number of metrics (a guaranteed recipe for false positives).  The peer review process is also fundamentally flawed.  This explains much of the false predictions on everything from climate science and the vaccine industry to why on Monday "drinking 5 cups of coffee may lower the risk of heart disease" and on Tuesday "Coffee may increase the risk of heart disease" etc.

This report from the Corbett Report is a must watch!



Here is the follow up with ideas for solving the crises.


And here is a more detailed look at the problem of reproducible results in science currently.
