Episode Don't hate the replicator, hate the game
The world of science has been stuck in an existential crisis over whether we actually know the things we thought we knew. Re-running an old study today doesn't always yield the same result. Same with re-enacting old experiments. Collectively, this is known as the “replication crisis.” Economist Abel Brodeur has come up with one way to help fix this crisis: he’s invented an internationally crowdsourced surveillance system, designed to keep social scientists honest.

• Fabricated data in research about honesty. You can't make this stuff up. Or, can you? • The Experiment Experiment • How Much Should We Trust Economics?
