@economeager@stuartbuck1 For sure there’s a lot of garbage science, and my field (public health) is a leading culprit. And I’m not hopeful that it’s a problem that realistically can be solved. Too many powerful institutions are too heavily invested in the status quo.
@stuartbuck1@economeager Also it would hurt if Congress would increase NIH’s budget to they they could fund more projects more generously. As I understand it, though, Congress actually just cut NIH’s budget. Sigh.
@stuartbuck1@economeager It would probably need its own study section. Study sections play a huge role in determining what gets funded and what doesn’t, and it’s often there rather than at the institutes that a proposal gets dinged as not feasible or too high-risk.

As a public service, I made a tool allowing you to overstate your own home value to the same extent as the Trump Organization inflated its property values, per a judge. https://t.co/kK0f4fR8Xy
