科学是我们认识世界的方式。然而，同行评审、统计方法和出版流程中的严重缺陷，已导致惊人数量的科研成果毫无价值——甚至更糟，严重误导公众。Science Fictions 借助来自“元科学”（关于科学如何运作的科学）的惊人新数据，记录了歪曲我们在癌症生物学、营养学、遗传学、移民、教育及外星生命等诸多领域认知的种种错误。Stuart Ritchie 质疑一项著名心理学实验的研究本身，直接推动促成了如今广为人知的“

Stuart Ritchie 在《Science Fictions》里深入探讨了这些论点以及 Guzey 的那篇文章，书中列举了科学界疏忽大意和学术造假的案例。我之前读过《Why We Sleep》而且很喜欢它传达的信息，在看这篇文章前，根据篇幅我的第一反应是……
These points and the Guzey essay were discussed in depth in Science Fictions by Stuart Ritchie, which features examples of negligence and fraud in science. Having read and enjoyed the message in Why We Sleep, my first reaction before reading based on the length of the essay was…
不仅仅是心理学，所有科学领域都受到了波及。Stuart Ritchie 的《Science Fictions》描述了横跨多个学科的案例。最恶劣的是医学研究中的学术不端，其中最离谱的大概当属骗了久负盛名的诺奖机构卡罗林斯卡学院的 Paolo Macchiarini……
Its not just psychology. All science is affected. Stuart Ritchie’s Science Fictions describes cases from across many disciplines. The worst are cases of misconduct in medical research with maybe the worst case being Paolo Macchiarini who fooled the Karolinska Institute of Nobel fame…
如果你对这类话题感兴趣（科学翻车），我推荐《Bad Science》这本书。还有 Stuart Ritchie 的《Science Fictions》，他现在还搞了个很棒的播客叫 The Studies show。
If you are into this kind of thing (science going wrong), I recommend the book Bad Science. Also, Science Fictions, by Stuart Ritchie, who also now has a great podcast called The Studies show.
……我不得不赞同。能上新闻报道的“科学”尤其容易是骗取经费和点击率的假把戏。当然不是全盘皆如此，但我们根本没办法挑出哪些才是靠谱真诚的。Stuart Ritchie 写的《Science Fictions》是一本关于不良科研现状的书，既好读又信息量十足。
…I have to agree. The "science" that makes news articles is particularly likely to be snake oil for funding and clicks. Not all of it, of course, but we are in no position to choose the honest ones. _Science Fictions_ by Stuart Ritchie is a very readable and informative book on the state of bad scientific research.
这种破事儿真让我火冒三丈。吐槽完毕……如果有人对这个更广泛的话题感兴趣，我强烈推荐 Stuart Ritchie 的《Science Fictions》。有声书也极棒。我不是一线科研人员，但我听得完全入了迷。光冲着里面对 p-hacking 的解释就值了。
This stuff just ENRAGES me. With that off my moobs ... for those interested in the broader topic, I highly recommend Science Fictions, by Stuart Ritchie. The audiobook is also excellent. I'm not a working scientist, and I found it completely engaging. Worth it just for the explanation of p-hacking.
……再次回到这个话题：科学界长期以来在信息过载方面存在非常明显的问题，不幸的是，这让不良分子和利益冲突方（COIs）得以钻系统的空子（推荐阅读，也供楼主链接参考：Stuart Ritchie 的《Science Fictions》）。只要愿意看，这些走向人尽皆知，尤其是近些年来。这必须严肃整顿；我希望你能看出来并且赞同这一点，……
…topic again: Science had very obvious issues with information overload for long time and unfortunately this allows bad players and COIs to exploit the system (recommended reading, also for OPs link: "Science Fictions" by Stuart Ritchie). These developments are out in the open for everyone who is willing to see them. Particularly in recent years. This needs fixing, seriously; and I hope you see it and agree with this,…
