Being connected to two fields that have been dealing with the replication crisis in science for a very long time now, it's fun to watch other areas getting drawn in and going through the stages of grief.

Apparently cell biology has entered the "it's just you guys that suck and we're the real scientists!" phase of the process. 🙄

Always fun to meet a True Scotsman. So few of those around these days.

Reproducibility Woes Plague Economics and Political Science

New studies show many findings in economics and political science cannot be repeated by other researchers. This affects trust in published research.

Only about half of published papers in social sciences, including economics and political science, can be independently repeated by other researchers. This is a big problem for science.

There you have it:

"Together, these dynamics suppress replication and cumulative verification, distort the visible scientific record, and misdirect expert attention away from epistemically stabilizing review."

Oktoberfest waiters were said to perform worse due to their expertise.

New preregistered replication, 400+ participants.

Result? No effect.

Even Oktoberfest is not immune to the replication crisis. 🍺
