    I actually find the various crises around science a good thing. It means that people are paying attention and are aware of scandals and issues, which gives me more hope of something changing because of it.

    Contrast that with a system that never changes because it’s perfect – I know what I find more trustworthy.

      Yeah, every sufficiently big group has unethical folks in it.

      It’s when the group never condemns insider and even defends them when obvious misdeeds happen, where you need to be extra wary.
