Reason, replication, and reality

Is there a crisis in the sciences?

In 2005, John Ioannidis published an essay titled "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False," now the most accessed article in the history of the Public Library of Science. Ioannidis' essay argued the way researchers use statistics means that most of their results, in medical science and several other domains, are false. Join Ioannidis for a wide-ranging interview covering his work and whether he believes there is a crisis in the sciences.
