  1. Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science – Magazine – The Atlantic<\/a> – “We could solve much of the wrongness problem, Ioannidis says, if the world simply stopped expecting scientists to be right. That\u2019s because being wrong in science is fine, and even necessary\u2014as long as scientists recognize that they blew it, report their mistake openly instead of disguising it as a success, and then move on to the next thing, until they come up with the very occasional genuine breakthrough. But as long as careers remain contingent on producing a stream of research that\u2019s dressed up to seem more right than it is, scientists will keep delivering exactly that.” Fascinating article.<\/li>\n
