Psychologists Strike a Blow For Reproducibility

ananyo writes "Science has a much publicized reproducibility problem. Many experiments seem to be failing a key test of science — that they can be independently verified by another lab. But now 36 research groups have struck a blow for reproducibility, by successfully reproducing the results of 10 out of 13 past experiments in psychology. Even so, the Many Labs Replication Project found that the outcome of one experiment was only weakly supported and they could not replicate two of the experiments at all."

    The ironic thing about statements like these is that they usually come from people with no scientific training in any field, nor any meaningful training in statistics...

    See, spewing bogus claims like this is why people come to see you as the fraud that you are.
