Researchers have found that they cannot reproduce the results of 89 percent of 53 “landmark” cancer research papers.
More bad news for peer-reviewed science: Researchers have found that they cannot reproduce the results for almost ninety percent of the fifty-three “landmark” cancer research papers they reviewed.
It is worse than you think. Consider this quote:
Part way through his project to reproduce promising studies, Begley met for breakfast at a cancer conference with the lead scientist of one of the problematic studies. “We went through the paper line by line, figure by figure,” said Begley. “I explained that we re-did their experiment 50 times and never got their result. He said they’d done it six times and got this result once, but put it in the paper because it made the best story. It’s very disillusioning.”
From the press release: From the moment he is handed a possibility of making the first alien contact, Saunders Maxwell decides he will do it, even if doing so takes him through hell and back.
Unfortunately, that is exactly where that journey takes him.
The vision that Zimmerman paints of vibrant human colonies on the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, and beyond, indomitably fighting the harsh lifeless environment of space to build new societies, captures perfectly the emerging space race we see today.
He also captures in Pioneer the heart of the human spirit, willing to push forward no matter the odds, no matter the cost. It is that spirit that will make the exploration of the heavens possible, forever, into the never-ending future.

Oh great.
Doctoring medical science data to “make a better story” in the scientific papers.
Disgusting just doesn’t say it.
I covered science for 15 years and watched this develop, partially in medical research, and most prominently in climate research. The harm done, whether by sloppiness, pride, or outright dishonesty and disdain for inconvenient truths, could take a generation or more to rectify — assuming there’s any attempt to do so in the near future. Utterly shameful.
If journaists can shape the “news” to an agenda then why can’t scientists shape scientific data to serve their agenda?
Its probably for the best anyway.
So much for reliable DNA science.

The dead mans identity established with a 99.62% certainty, “The highest probability the test could give”. Will everything boil down to total BS?
