    The ongoing veneration of scientific peer review is really questionable. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-secrets-of-blood-testing-startup-theranos?mbid=social_twitter …http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182327/ …

        @pmarca some of us are working very hard to make it better. My lab puts all code on @github. Also see work by @BrianNosek.

        @fmbutt @pmarca often, but not here. this just smells funny. the make up of the board is comical almost.

        @danishism @pmarca I hope for humanity's sake she actually has a breakthrough. If not, the schadenfreude will be off the scale.

        @fmbutt @pmarca will be interesting to read why so many serious people got hoodwinked, imo. i hope it's real too, but it's not looking good.

        @danishism @pmarca when you're finding and funding innovation, there's a natural level of bullshit that comes with the territory

        @pmarca peer review can be post or pre. Pre is the problem. Post is okay. In fact it works great! See arXiv and @biorxivpreprint

        @RogervonOech @pmarca @NewYorker @AmbassadorRice science is done by scientists, not the press.

        @pmarca @NewYorker but there was no scientific peer review of theranos claims - only celebrity endorsements. that's the problem.

        @davidcowan @pmarca @NewYorker Isn't Scientific Peer Review like Democracy? The worst system except for all the others?

      @pmarca Now you are just trolling... I guess valuing a unicorn by gut feeling is preferable.

      @pmarca Peer review never claimed proof of reproducibility; simply an expert review. Reproducability is only proof of reproducibility.

      @pmarca @NewYorker the issue isn't peer review, it's transparency. There is very little transparent about much research or review. #openData

        @pmarca if scientists worked in "groups" to do science, phlogiston would be well and alive.
