things science needs:
- grants to reward risk over incremental innovation
- micro-bounties for specific research breakthroughs
- rewards for 'whistleblowing' on assumptions
- more funding for basic research
**more people thinking about this stuff**

Lack of incentives to replicate research seems like a big problem. What about: Bounties for replicating research. A deposit is required to validate/invalidate an experiment and collect bounty. If later found you validated/invalidated incorrectly, deposit is taken or slashed.
Who would validate the replicated research, though? Bounties incentivize scammy replications; unlike code bounties, the truth isn't immediately obvious. Turtles all the way down

Yep, hard problem. Augur model has votes bubble up to more and more people with skin in the game, and ultimately the universe can fork if no global agreement can be reached.
