with the accompanying data. Yes, the state of scientific research is that bad. The problem is well known, a lot of folks are talking about it, but there's not money in addressing the problem.
Remember that the next time you see a report of some new study. The chances of the conclusions being bogus are greater than 50%.
Worst field? Psychology. Barely over 20% reproducibility rate.
