"A new study shows..."

Apparently "A new study shows..." are the four most dangerous words in science. A fascinating article in Wired profiles John Arnold, a billionaire who is spending his fortune on the Reproducibility Project. What they are finding, somewhat worryingly, is that the majority of published research can't be reproduced. They argue that the current competitive and often se cretive science model is flawed and that science should be more open and collaborative. It's hard to disagree. from The Universal Machine http://universal-machine.blogspot.com/ Universal Machine post to email (CS blog)
