Replication Crisis?<https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/theforum/forthcomingevents/replicationcrisis/>

28 May | 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Old Theatre | Old Building | LSE

The hallmark of good science is often supposed to be experiments that produce the same results when repeated. But over the last number of years, scientists have replicated a number of established, high-profile experiments and produced different results. Does it point to serious flaws and biases in the sciences? Or it is evidence of the power of science to self-correct? And what can be done to make science more replicable? We explore whether the replication crisis undermines our trust in science.
