    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.

      Probably both considering that many people need these studies to return results to continue getting funded. At the same time, more academics than ever are excited about uncovering fraudulent work (imo).
