Episode #3 - Is science suffering from a reproducibility crisis?

Category: Science & Medicine

Description: Isaac Newton famously said that “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” It’s a crucial point. Scientists discover new things by building on facts established by those who came before. But what if the science that laid the groundwork for new discoveries ... was wrong? In this week's episode, we explore what some have come to call the "crisis of reproducibility" plaguing the world of scientific research. Way more than you’d expect, scientific papers that were once presented as fact are taken back. The Signal podcast is produced by Katie Hiler. (Illustration by Molly Ferguson for STAT)
