And if there was a philosophy or maths or biology, if it could have political implications, then we would expect to see it there.

Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of steps, and there's been this kind of crisis in science, and then there's been this response, what many people call the open science movement.

And in the past, a lot of people did science where they would just say, trust me, these are my results.

And it turns out we shouldn't do that.

And so this movement is to make all of the underlying data and all of the workflow and every decision point, every decision that was made and the rationale for that decision, to make that all transparent and open and to record it.

And ideally to write down as much stuff in advance about what a scientist is going to do in a particular study.

And so this transparency, it makes it so people can check the data and

And in particular, the original study that I helped lead that found all these different results, we made all of our data open.

And that's what the follow-up study came in and found about the ideology.

We didn't notice that in the first study.

And that was only possible because of the sharing data.

So not only does it help insulate against the questionable research practices, it opens up new avenues for research.

So it's good all around if we make these changes in the way we do science to be open and transparent.

Yeah, thanks so much, David.

And I've really enjoyed listening to your show this week.

It's very refreshing.

Someone else will have to investigate that.
