great video! pretty interesting points discussed 🙂

[@leeseaz]

Great video

[@dbdexter]

Excellent video. Absolutely agree with most of the points you made here.

[@benburdick9834]

An excellent video, as usual. Your perspective feels especially useful to young graduate students!

Nice video. I don't agree with you on all points, but do on the broad strokes. Particularly the point about fabrication of data in physics I disagree. I'm an experimentalist working in condensed matter and I think it wouldn't particularly hard to fake data. Maybe it would be harder for computational physics but in my field of 2D materials, there is a worrying prevellance of "hero devices" and a lack of reproducibility or even raw data publication. Which I think would make it not to hard for fake data to go unnoticed.
I would also like to suggest that you think about the wording you used to discuss it, saying "we know what we expect reality to do." makes it sound a bit like other fields don't know their field. I'm sure that isn't your intention, I'm just trying to offer additional perspective.
That said I think these videos are good we need to talk about these kinds of things.
