Real academics know if you want to do anything with people as a part of a study, even a survey, or a noninvasive ultrasound you need to seek IRB approval or waiver. You need to protect privacy. The design has to be peer reviewed and safety mechanisms evaluated. This was sloppy.

And that presumes consent. Here there was no consent. There was deception. There was no mechanism for improvement but public shaming. There was no benefit to the subjects. There was no external review. There were no privacy protections. This was deeply unethical.

It never ceases to amaze and appall me how little people not directly involved in human subjects research know about even the most basic ethical principles of doing research involving human subjects. The responses to Boghossian are really a shit show (e.g., "re-education camps.")

It’s hard because this stuff is serious as a heart attack. The entire institution can be censured, even lose all federal funding for human research misadventure. Worse, Boghossian is still not contrite about this, and using lack of public understanding to generate sympathy.

His lack of contrition and blatant public play for sympathy among people who don't know anything about human subjects research regulations are what most irritate me.

It is either so siloed from me in a STEM field that I don’t see it, or it’s a tempest in a teacup. From my perspective of being in academia for 20 years now across multiple institutions, their complaints eing hollow. But I’m not in the himanities.

The replication crisis is only surprising to folks who haven’t tried to replicate something. Most of us are cautious in interpreting even the best of literature prior. I agree with Brian Nosek’s efforts at UVA to systemetize it, but I’m not surprised by it or think its crisis.

I've written about the "replication crisis" before. Basically, it's complicated.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/06/13/is-there-a-reproducibility-crisis-in-biomedical-research/ …

And I wrote about it again. (I know. I repeated the same personal anecdote, but I figured the time between the two posts justified it.) https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/01/30/is-there-a-reproducibility-crisis-in-biomedical-research-2017-edition/ …
