Ozzy was my first real concert when I was 14. My ears are still ringing.
Stephen Colbert is a national treasure!
My career peak was when he devoted a whole segment to our paper on scarcity & race perception on The Colbert Report (!) And of course he nailed it.
Sadly it's not on youtube anymore, but it's on AppleTV (Season 10, Episode 119, on June 16, 2014).
Ah, yes—2014! I'll fix that

I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly.
Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent.

…but your comment gets at the point of the paper
Good questions. Indeed, all studies—original and replication—need to be valid!
The issue we raise as that replications are too often not evaluated for their validity. Just because an original was valid doesn’t ensure a replication got everything correct. We explain this in the paper.
If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU.
Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.
Terrible—sorry to hear that. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to resubmit if things ever get better (and with the same reviewers!)

To be clear, this is not critique of replication or open science reforms. To the contrary: it’s an appeal to strengthen these initiatives by improving the rigor of methods in replication studies.
Happy reading! Please share & feel free to discuss!
