- This is our planet
- This is our planet
- But we have some problems
- C02 levels on the up, bla, bla, bla
- The bee story
- "This serves as a warning to other countries," said Professor James Thomson at the University of Toronto, who carried out the research. "I believe that this is the first real demonstration that pollination levels are getting worse. I believe it is a significant decline. I believe the pollination levels have dropped by as much as 50 per cent. "Bee numbers may have declined at our research site, but we suspect that a climate-driven mismatch between the times when flowers open and when bees emerge from hibernation is a more important factor." According to a previous study, England's bees are vanishing faster than anywhere else in Europe, with more than half of hives dying out over the last 20 years.
- 34% of Americans obese
- 34% of Americans obese
- The population of our plant is 6B but we have alot of problems with how we do science
- Tell story about this paper 53 “Landmark studies” unrepeatable.
- ONLY 7 repeated
- Why are there so few researcher and why is the science we do not very good?
- Reason 1: We don’t spend enough trying to solve the problems that need to solved.
- The incentives in science are brokenNeed to publish to get tenure, so pressure to publish more and more.
- Corners get cut, cherry picking of results etc
- Data overload is making it harder and harder to navigate results
- Why are there so few researcher and why is the science we do not very good?
