More than 50% of high-profile scientific findings cannot be independently reproduced by other scientists. Lab research is the worst, with irreproducibility for top publications reaching nearly 90%.

This is a major problem. When I was doing my PhD in Genetics, I noticed the most dishonest students were winning all the awards. Research needs a culture of honesty in order to advance. https://t.co/LKLTXb8LiI
