Stuart Buck | What is Good Science?
This month, we have Stuart Buck with us, executive director of the Good Science Project. Among many things, he has funded renowned work showing that scientific research is often irreproducible, including the Reproducibility Projects in Psychology and Cancer Biology.
Working in the field of meta-science, Stuart cares deeply about who gets funding and how, the engulfment of bureaucracy for researchers, everywhere, how we can fund more innovative science, ensuring results are reproducible and true, and much more.
For his Existential Hope Scenario, Stuart imagines (in relation to science) a world where “you have two different systems operating with equal amounts of funding. And now you can really see at a grand scale, hopefully, what happens and what are the results. There will be a chance to test out lots of different meta science ideas that people have discussed for years or decades.”
These wouldn’t be small changes either. Stuart wishes for entire institutions run completely differently from current ones, in the hands of entirely different people. For him, we’re currently “so focused on doing whatever gets you approval from the kind of the existing bureaucracy”, that we’ve forgotten how to be innovative and radical.
He imagines changes across the system could breed a number of great breakthroughs, on the scale that we as a society have not seen in many years.

About The Foresight Institute
The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1986 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support. From molecular nanotechnology, to brain-computer interfaces, space exploration, cryptocommerce, and AI, Foresight gathers leading minds to advance research and accelerate progress toward flourishing futures.
