> A lot of the biomedical sciences has similar problems with reproducibility. Indeed, which is why I specifically singled out cell biology. It's the part of medicine that's closest to physics. Oncology, pharmacology etc. study humans/whole bodies, so not only are the experiments more expensive to run and much more noisy, there's also all kinds of ethical issues. Most of these aren't there, or are at least reduced, when dealing with just cells (I didn't expect "cell cultures take a long time to grow" and "the chemicals used are non-reproducible" issues that sibling comments pointed out, so I guess not quite physics)
