Its only gotten worse in the last 2 decades. There are a myriad of articles that pop up on HN about how bad bio had gotten. No one can replicate anything anyone else is doing and it seems like ~45% of published research these days is p-hacking to graduate students. It used to be 'publish or perish' but now its 'funding or famine'. Why not fudge the results, who is ever going to check, let alone prove p-hacking? The researchers have mortgages, college-funds, and college debt too. Nature came out and said that a P of 0.005 (not .05) is the way to fix it. Like, guys, the culture is rotten from the core on up, you need to fix that, not add a 0. It makes sense, the funding is (long-term) drying up relative to the number of researchers, there is less money to go around, so we get to see who is swimming naked.
