No there are three. You missed the guy grumbling in the corner about academia being in shambles (in the US at least)
I’m optimistic. I think we’re at the beginning of the self-correction stage of the reproducibility crisis.
It’s not the end. It’s not even the beginning of the end. But it could very well be the end of the beginning.
Oh I agree! I actually have another comment in this thread where I said I think that more people are excited about uncovering fraudulent work than ever before imo.

Internet is exposing these clowns finay but much damage has been done
Hmm. So is it actually the number of fraudullent papers that's up, or is it the number of frauds that get caught?
Probably both considering that many people need these studies to return results to continue getting funded. At the same time, more academics than ever are excited about uncovering fraudulent work (imo).
How many of them had pharmaceutical money behind them, I wonder.
