EP. 6 - Science is Dead (Replication Crisis)

Feb 9, 2019

The entire scientific field may be at deaths door due to systematic faults in the system. After several scientific studies were put into question or invalidated outright due to the fact that results published in their studies were found to be unreproducible people began to sound the alarm that a full blown crisis was at hand. It’s called variously the replication or reproducibility crisis and it seems to affect every field to some extent, but it’s really noticeable among psychology and social science studies.

We tackle that in the second half of the show. First off, guest host, Twee and I dissect some quirky presidential conspiracy theories as well as dig into the strange case of the Smily Face Killers.
