SH60: Negligence and Hype in Science (The Replication Crisis part 2)
How negligent are scientists?
Why do people think blueberries can fix all their problems?
Can you trust any scientific study?
In this episode, the humans discuss the effects of negligence and hype on the replication crisis. The crisis is a methodological problem in the sciences in which the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce. The problem undermines significant findings in everything from psychology, to medical science, to chemistry.
Standard Humans is hosted by Aidan Dennehy and Evan.
