Bad science is a big f’ing problem. Medical research edition. Roundtable w/ Reese Richardson PhD & Rohin Francis MD PhD

In case you weren’t aware, bad science is a really big problem, driven by some of the very skewed incentives within publishing right now. I’ve covered this topic from many angles over the years on the podcast; for this episode we’ll dig into the medicine side of things. And how the pressures for research output from residency applicants might be creating the perfect storm for all sorts of misconduct issues. What’s been happening? Why is it happening? Why does it matter? And what should you know? To help me do the topic justice, this episode featured a roundtable discussion with research integrity researcher, Dr Reese Richardson, and cardiologist, Dr Rohin Francis, AKA Medlife Crisis.
