I work with principal investigators phd/mds at upenn automating some of their data analysis pipelines.

They have all have secret checklists for bs detection in papers they read. Certain labs set off red flags to them or certain techniques being too fuzzy or easy to mess up.

Every one seems to have their own heuristics, and no one seems to take any article at face value anymore.

I hear PI's say stuff is unreplicable all the time.
