The video discusses the possibility of science being objective. The speakers argue that human bias can affect scientific research, but that scientists can still produce valid results. They also discuss the importance of high-quality research and the fact that some scientific discoveries may be wrong.

• 00:00:00 In his 2005 paper "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False", John Yanedes argues that because most experiments are not replicated, the scientific model is not reliable. Claudia de Rham and Harry Collins discuss how human bias has affected science, and how scientists can still produce valid results even with biases.
• 00:05:00 John Ioannidis, Claudia de Rham, and Harry Collins discuss the inherent subjectivity of science and how this can lead to errors and biases. They go on to discuss how scientists must constantly strive to improve the reliability of their data and results, and how humans are still a part of this process.
• 00:10:00 John Ioannidis, Claudia de Rham, and Harry Collins discuss the possibility of science being objective. They discuss the importance of high-quality research and the fact that some scientific discoveries, such as the discovery of cosmic gravitational radiation, still turn out to be wrong. Claudia de Rham argues that even if science is not always objective, it is still a good candidate for a truly objective science.
