We put a lot of faith in science but in recent years it has become evident that many findings are unable to be replicated. This has become known as the 'replication crisis' and it has thrown the credibility of some areas of science into question. It hasn't been all bad though as it has helped many scientists to rethink how they conduct research and report their results, improving the veracity of findings.  We explore a few of the reasons behind the replication crisis and discuss the concept of statistical significance.
