Reply to comment by LetMePushTheButton in Review found ‘falsified data’ in Stanford President’s research, colleagues allege by ScoMoTrudeauApricot
The sad thing about research is:
- Negative findings do not get published. His leads to many labs doing research that they don’t know has already been futile. I can only imagine how many billions of research dollars get wasted.
- Bias. Even the a post doc student with no pharma connections and funding from government has a huge conflict of interest: that conflict being, if you spend a couple years doing research and all your experiments don’t find results then you don’t get a job. Funnily enough, they always find something.

Sounds to me like a more socialized and less capitalistic system for the research field wouldn't have nearly this pervasive an incentive.....but of course, we can't because socialism is badddddd.

Nothing socialist or capitalist about it. Even if it was socialist you would get the same problems.
