Don’t read this thread on science if you don’t want to get depressed (but I think it’s a good thing)

Yesterday I discovered this thread via Christian Bokhove:

Our book, The Psychology of Great Teaching is about educational psychology after the replication crisis. But this goes deeper, although more technical in nature.

 

Take this example:

The danger is – just like with the replication crisis – that people can misuse this critique to bring doubt about science as a whole. But that should not be a reason not to discuss this. En contraire… it shows how science works. We keep critical of what we do. This is often a huge difference with claims outside science.
