We don't see that enough in the scientific community. Acocrding to a Skeptics with a K podcast I listened to recently, apparently many journals don't publish repeated studies, nor negative findings. Have you thought about doing some stats training? It can be a little dry at times, but if you've not read stuff by Ben Goldacre (I'm sure you have) he makes it quite accessible. I did some at uni and once you understand the basics, it's great when evaluating studies. In fact, I was actually thinking about blogging for a lay audience about study evaluation. I may think some more about that now. Thanks for reminding me!Tannicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04594159196417452943noreply@blogger.com
