“Reproducible Science is Good Science.” 

How can researchers, institutions, and citizens play a role in rebuilding trust in a scientific enterprise that advances human knowledge and improves lives? At the heart of groundbreaking discoveries lies an unwavering commitment to scientific principles, yet recent years have revealed a growing trend of questionable scientific integrity, ranging from falsified data to AI-generated manuscripts to overselling of findings on social media. These questions matter not just for scientists, but for everyone who depends on research to inform medical treatments, public policy, and our understanding of the world.

Join us for a compelling conversation about scientific integrity, excellence, and impact between Stuart Buck from The Good Science Project and Dean Megan Ranney from the Yale School of Public Health. The conversation will touch on essential elements of the scientific method that advance our knowledge and increase trust in science, explore the challenges in pursuing scientific reproducibility, and discuss potential paths forward for improving rigor and impact.
