Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Do you decide or is it like –

We had big teams going through those grants.

And then there's tremendous ways.

We had 40 communications departments.

We had 40 different divisions studying addiction.

And so we consolidated those.

You have 10 people doing the same job and not talking to each other with computers.

Yeah, and we're changing that now so that, you know, we consolidate it and we're making it more streamlined and efficient.

But it's so that we can do the job better, so we can do better research.

And then the research, you know, was never replicated.

And which means that that's part of science.

And if somebody does a paper that makes a scientific hypothesis, you don't just accept that.

You get somebody to replicate it and see if they come up with the same result.

And that was not happening.

There was virtually no money spent on replication.

And because of that, there was huge incentives to cheat.

Because scientists, if they have a hypothesis...

And they do – they get a grant, maybe hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of dollars to prove that hypothesis.

And then they – once they prove it, they get it published.

And that's how they advance their careers.
