4:19 video. or here is the article being discussed: https://www.nature.com/articles/d4158...
3,200 scientists reveal the tensions bubbling in research groups around the world.

Yep, Cronyism's, politics, ideologies, funding and a total lack of adaptation to new information are the products of this Cancer; not to mention, poor training.

This is why we're stuck with global warming, when it's not, no cancer cures because it makes too much money for all but the patient and Dark Matter because everything else science thinks depends upon it...even when it's clearly not there or so misunderstood that they have mischaracterized the concept.

    This cancer in science is the spoiled fruit of the State Science Institute-funded work.

      Exactly...I say, no more state and government grants for Anything!
      Leave it up to those that wish to donate to the research of their choice. Let them pitch their work in plain language and let the people decide...no corp. funding, no large donations allowed.
      Could the unscrupulous lie?...I bet, a whole lot less than we have today....and we certainly won't have frog sex studies any more...

      AND...this is a BIG and...all researchers Will be accountable for the success or failure of their work.

    I remember a video presented in a psychology class way back when. A dozen or so people in a room were presented a slide projected image on a screen, e.g. a giraffe. Each person in turn was asked to identify the image. Everyone was in on the experiment except the 12th person. After a while, a picture of a horse was shown. The first eleven identified the horse as a cow. It was astounding how many of the 12th people also identified the horse as a cow. They squirmed and giggled and looked uncomfortable, but still identified a horse as a cow.
    I do believe that following the money is a large factor in fake science being accepted as truth. But, many scientists just want to fit in. Humans are herd animals, after all.

    What are you willing to do to keep your job, might be part of the problem.
    If one is Conscious with a Conscience, there is going to be a lot of negative feed back in your brain.
