Naro's "Why can't anyone replicate the scientific studies from those eye-grabbing headlines?"

Maki Naro created a terrific comic strip detailing the replication, where it came from, where we are, and possible solutions.  You can use it in class to introduce the crisis and solutions. I particularly enjoy the overall tone: Hope is not lost. This is a time of change in statistics and methodology that will ultimately make science better. A few highlights: *History of science, including the very first research journal (and why the pressure to get published has lead to bad science) *Illustration of some statsy ways to bend the truth in science  *References big moments in the Replication Crisis  *Discusses the crisis AND solutions (PLOS, SIPS, COS)
