A full explanation of the replication crisis and how to evaluate scientific papers would be really nice. Most smart science-adjacent (and a lot of scientists!) still believe pop-science conceptions of studies like Dunning-Kreuger and Rat Utopia. Encouraging critical thinking, even of results from high-status scientists, would really improve the smart-normie memespace. It’s pretty crazy how much my understanding of science has changed since I learned how the sausage was made. As things are, there aren’t many ways for someone who isn’t a scientist themselves to learn of the replication crisis and its consequences.
I’d be willing to write the script myself if prizes for the script contest are still being given.

Prizes are still being given, yes! I’d be happy to evaluate a submission on this topic.
