In high school, I went to an upper level math-science academy. This school was similar to college, with set lecture/lab times, research days, and small class sizes with informal assessments. During research days, we divided into our small research groups to work on our year-long research project. We wrote scientific papers and presented our findings to the whole academy at the end of the year, which was quite the educational experience. For my senior year…

formatted in APA format. Lay articles on the other hand are a brief summary of a study. It reports the findings but does not have any evidence into why that finding is correct.

For example in 1960’s, experimentation on animals showed that the tobacco did not cause lung cancer, although it caused some minor issues. This research was used for years as an argument to delay the government warning related to smoking habits. However, we still have to continue to test drugs before using in humans. There many other methods to study the effects of drugs in humans, between…

In the past few years, there have been an increased number of retractions and fabrication incidents in the psychology and social sciences research, which caused speculations that these fields are currently in a crisis. Recently, an initiative called “Reproducibility Project” was conducted at the University of Virginia that reran 100 psychology experiments from three reputed psychology journals and stated that over 60% of…
