Dealing with Irreproducibility Researchers discuss the growing pressures that are driving increases in retraction rates at AACR. FLICKR, UNIVERSITY OF EXETERRecent years have seen increasing numbers of retractions, higher rates of misconduct and fraud, and general problems of data irreproducibility, spurring the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and others to launch initiatives to improve the quality of research results.

I think Seth is wrong. I think the worst thing would be to put someone in charge of the magic. Here is magic I have personally witnessed.. An advisor leaving her desk, walking out the office, going down three flights of stairs and into a wet carpark where she sat inside an old disabled couple’s car to personally go through with them the tangled bureaucracy of applying for a benefit.
