  • The beer is flowing

    For the record I miss Alexa; she was insightful and a good counterpart to Yoel. Of course I think this because I agreed with her a lot. 😆 But I’m glad the show is back and so are the laughs are the beers.

Q: At what point do you give up a theory?
I think the answer is somewhere in between too soon and too late.
Episode 120: Transparent Replications (with Spencer Greenberg)

Importance hacking refers to cases where studies replicate, but the claims made in the papers do not accurately reflect the findings of the research, often misleading reviewers about the value of the research.

Pre-registration ensures that research is conducted and reported transparently, reducing the chances of selectively presenting data that supports pre-existing ideological commitments.
