The replication crisis and the credibility revolution response will, at minimum, make for a classic of long-form science writing, like The Soul of a New Machine or The Annals of the Former World. But I’d like to see the movie too!https://twitter.com/The_Lagrangian/status/1128476386631483393 …

It remains unclear to me quite what you mean every time you say "science" in this context. Part of me thinks https://xkcd.com/435/ There's apparently a pathology in string theory, but that's a small part of physics, let alone "hard science". Are you just as unhappy with them?

I’m not sure what you are asking? I didn’t use the word “science” here

Oh, sorry, I did: “science writing.” Do you not think the replication crisis concerns “science”?

My question is, do you see it as a problem of social science/medicine or do you see it as also a problem of, eg, geology, chemistry, astronomy, physics, math? Every example I see talking about this (from you and others) is always social science/medicine w/ nod to string theory.

Point is, I don't know that it's helpful to talk about problems in "science" IF the problems are essentially limited to a subset of science. That subset may be the majority in terms of money/people, but it's not everything. IF the hard sciences are doing better, learn from them…

Some problems are pervasive across fields; other are found more in some fields than others. The problems in string theory are not the same as those in psychology; string theory is untestable, whereas psychology mostly failed to do meaningful tests.

All reasonable complaints. But different. In particular the problem of "my work environment sux and is sub-optimal for thought" is rather different from the problem of "80% of what's published is wrong/garbage".
