Why reproducibility has become one of science's central concerns

Research Practice
How health systems decide which treatments to pay for when budgets are finite

How clinical trials are designed to tell whether a treatment really works
Proving that a medicine helps is harder than it sounds. Randomisation, control groups and blinding exist to separate genuine effects from chance, hope and bias.
