„The only remaining way to mitigate this situation is to reduce the number of applications.“ They’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas? Whether this is good or bad, it is unjustified. There is no impact analysis, no engagement with research on funding procedures. Government by vibes

It's commonly claimed that "controversial" or politically sensitive research is suppressed by failing to report inconvenient results. The claimed is especially common for research on the relationship between IQ & grades. A new paper shows that the core evidence for this claim is an artifact

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

A variation: Scientists who claim they’re “not interested in causality” because they assume the term only applies to deterministic, law-like relationships that are unrealistic in their field. Instead, they’re interested in how “X drives Y”, the effects of X, the “extent to which X matters for Y”>
