Statistics about science

I loved this post from Telic Thought.  It says a lot about the current state of science and academia in the world.  It is all footnoted so you can get to the references from which the statistics were taken.  Read the whole thing, but here are a few to whet your appetite:

89%: Percentage of cancer research “landmark papers” from “top journals” which could not be replicated (47 out of 53).¹

417: Number of citations for the 47 unreproducible papers.¹

36%: Percentage of scientists who admit engaging in questionable research practices or fraud.²
