>If scientists are going to complain that's its too hard or too expensive to replicate their studies, then that just shows their work is BS. 1 mg of anti-rabbit antibody (a common thing to use in a lot of biology experiments) is $225 [1]. Outside of things like standard buffers and growth medium for prokaryotes, this is going to be the cheapest thing you use in an experiment. 1/10th of that amount for anti-flagellin antibody is $372. [2] A kit to prep a cell for RNA sequencing is $6-10 per use. That's JUST isolation of the RNA. Not including reverse transcribing it to cDNA for sequencing, or the sequencing itself. [3] Let's not even reach things like materials science where you may be working on an epitaxial growth paper, and there are only a handful of labs where they could even feasibly repeat the experiment. Or say something with a BSL-3 lab where there are literally only 15 labs in the US that could feasibly do the work, assuming they aren't working on their own stuff.
