Today's New York Times has a new column, Raw Data, by George Johnson. Appropriately enough, the inaugural column is about non-reproducible research. It covers mostly the same ground that the Economist did in its special issue, "How Science Goes Wrong" last October. We've talked about many of these issues on this blog, DTLR, over the past half year as well. It is gratifying to see that the venerable newspaper deems the topic fit to write about.
There is one topic in Johnson's column that we haven't examined here on DTLR yet, and that is the opinion piece by Mina Bissell writing in Nature last November. Her thoughtful piece will be the subject of a future post.
