Ibuprofen alters human testicular physiology including testosterone production
I read the paper, I saw the plots accompanying the paper, and I tried following the rabbit hole in search of <i>some</i> raw data that I can get my hands on, just to see if I can.<p>Perhaps the data is the result of the experiments that have been paid for by a third party, fine, but please mention that! People might be willing to pay for it, for example, me!<p>What&#x27;s wrong with &quot;Here&#x27;s the raw data, here&#x27;s how we measured it, Here&#x27;s how we&#x27;ve shown the data, and look you can see for yourself that we are right! oh and the data costs $$$ much.&quot; ?<p>I understand experiment reproducibility is not incentivised in academia, but then why make it hard for an external party to reproduce it&#x2F;study it?<p>Do we have to go through the usual &quot;Contact the academic, maybe they answer, and maybe you&#x27;ll get the same (version of) data that they used in that experiment, maybe you&#x27;ll have to go through Elsevier, oh and you must have .edu&#x2F;.ac.uk address to be taken seriously through all those requests.&quot;<p>What a chore. Just adds to the hate towards &#x27;experts&#x27; and their opinions.
