not reproducible ≠ wrong/false/fluke
reproducible ≠ true

not reproducible ≠ poor science
reproducible ≠ good science

reproducibility of results is not a reliable indicator of truth/research quality/epistemic progress.

replication of a poorly designed study is another poorly designed study.

Teaching stats & research methods to undergrad medical students is soul destroying.

But catch them later in their career, especially the ones who've developed an interest in research, & it can be very rewarding.

We need to rethink when & how we offer research training to medics.

I’m not a real statistician, and you can be one too I was strolling around Cork, hand-in-hand with Cara, on a summer evening.

It's really cool to see so many networks reforming, and new ones popping up. Many thanks for all the new "follows". I guess if I have one key message to share, it's that sometimes you just have to become your own (not a real) statistician.
