Book Review

Data scientists younger than Taylor Swift can do everyone a favor by reading “Rigor Mortis: How Sloppy Science Creates Worthless Cures, Crushes Hope, and Wastes Billions” by NPR journalist Richard Harris. It sparks uncomfortable conversations about the broken incentives in our research system. Read my full book review “Difficult Choices Between What is Best for Science or Best for Our Career” on the new CHOICE Institute blog Incremental Thoughts.
