A biochemist working for Novartis in Basel told me of an astounding finding recently. Of the top three prestigious journals. "Cell", "Nature", and "Science", 90% of their genetics articles have reported experimental results that are not repeatable. Among the leading causes: Cell lines get misplaced or mislabeled during the experimental work.
These sophomoric blunders cast serious doubt on the reliability of lab work that was pitched to the public with cultlike fervor and led to public denunciation of anyone questioning beliefs in the work.
When the Scientific Method vanishes white lab coats become cult vestments and so-called science degenerates into a cultlike worship of certain leaders.
