Volume 2: Part II – Glossary: John Ioannidis - From John Ioannidis’ Stanford bio: “My work aims to improve research methods & practices to enhance approaches to integrating information & generating reliable evidence.” Ioannidis seems to think that the problem of irreproducible results has top-down solutions. However, change may actually start with bottom-up solutions. For instance, Dr. Malcom Kendrick’s 2014 book “Doctoring Data, how to sort out medical advice from medical nonsense” recognizes the problem that Ioannidis articulated, and takes it one step further with individual recommendations in other books such as “The Clot Thickens, the enduring mystery of heart disease” (2021).
