Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Scientific Studies (you can watch the video via this link, or via the embedded video below)

Note: Yes, there is some off color humor in this video. Don't watch it with your kids/nieces/nephews in the room! However, the video also makes some very good,funny points about how bad research gets spread.

1) In your own words, why aren't replications published? How do you think the scientific community could correct this problem?

2) In your own words, explain just ONE of the ways in which a RESEARCHER can manipulate their own data. It should be one of the methods of manipulation described within the video. Also, don't just name the method of manipulation, explain it like you would explain it to a friend so that they could become aware of the issue AND know how to spot the problem.

3) Given what you have learned in this video AND your own experiences, who/what do you think is the most to blame for spreading bad science?

4) Given your response to item 3, describe one way to correct for this problem of misinterpreted data being shared inappropriately
