Cancer Research's Reproducibility Problem Faces a Second Test | WIRED

"The Virginia-based non-profit has tasked itself with increasing the integrity of scientific research by re-running notable experiments—first in psychology, then in biology . For oncology research, the stakes are especially high when researchers can’t replicate a study’s results. So backed by millions of dollars from John Arnold’s philanthropic foundation, the group is replicating the 29 most important cancer papers of the last few years. Today, it published its latest findings on two papers, including the landmark Cancer Cell study. And, unlike their first batch of re-dos from January, things looked pretty good."
