Complete VSF Workshop - Does condensed matter physics need to worry about a replication crisis?

Recorded on March 2, 2023

In this short workshop we review the replication crisis as it has arisen in the social and medical sciences, then consider a few case studies of prominent recent results in condensed matter that have proven unreliable, and close with a panel discussion.
