    There are two kinds of people, the kind who’ll read this and think, “This is science working”, and others who’ll think “Well, you can’t trust science”.

        I’m optimistic. I think we’re at the beginning of the self-correction stage of the reproducibility crisis.

        It’s not the end. It’s not even the beginning of the end. But it could very well be the end of the beginning.

            in academia, crimes against scientific integrity are considered particularly heinous. The dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious violations are members of an elite squad known as the Ph.D students. These are their stories.
