Why Most Published Research Findings Are False

Why Most Published Research Findings Are False: "The greater the financial and other interests and prejudices in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true."
" The hotter a scientific field (with more scientific teams involved), the less likely the research findings are to be true".
Fascinating insights - and perhaps this explains all the hype we recently saw in the field of stem-cell research.
