Replication Crisis?

Tuesday, 28 May 2019 @ 6:30 pm8:00 pm

All welcome | Free to attend | First come, first served at the door

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.
