Research Ethics: Uncertainty Reproducibility and Truth in Science
September 01, 2020 21:00 - 59 minutes - 27.3 MBThe promise of science is great, but the application of new technologies often raises profound ethical questions. Answering those questions depends on both critical philosophical inquiry and good data. Unfortunately, the reliability of the science is in question. Theoretical and empirical investigations have caused many to believe that science now faces a reproducibility crisis: Much that is published by one team of scientists cannot be reproduced by another. Research ethicist Mike Kalichman,...
