Is There a Bias in Science?
There are all sorts of other biases besides just sort of the bias towards publishable or fancy or exciting results. And so like you get some cases of what look like outright fraud and the outright fraud being driven basically by the sense that there's a way to sort of clout with the media and with policymakers. I think that what we have to do kind of so to speak is do our best to fix these things but also in some sense it's just quite right for people to decrease their trust in this institution insofar as their trust was previously based on a image of scientific researchers or scientists which made it immune from those things.
