Veritasium: Is Most Published Research Wrong?

by Derek Muller

Derek Muller explains p-values, p-hacking and John Ioannidis's argument that most published findings are false, and shows how a literature can fill up with false positives without anyone cheating. The best twelve-minute introduction to the replication crisis for someone who has never heard the phrase, accurate on the statistics without turning cynical about science.
