Not a rant. It’s a must read for medical researchers. 👇
This thread highlights an excellent example of why you should always LOOK AT THE DATA.

this could apply to a LOT of academic papers - scary that policy decisions/ treatment decisions/ legal decisions (#forensic) can be based upon such flawed data and no attention to corrections.
This thread is pure awesomesauce.

A great example of how researcher degrees of freedom can create the illusion of a solid empirical finding from nothing 😑

The beauty with science lies in reproducibility and the opportunity to debunk. Here’s an interesting thread debunking the work that suggested that more fatal accidents are associated with the 4/20 “Weed Day” phenomenon. Elegant!
