This week, we talk about the controversy over a blog by an anonymous person on Twitter, AlvaroDeMenard, about participating in "Replication Markets, a part of DARPA's SCORE program, whose goal is to evaluate the reliability of social science research."
The thread about this on Twitter elicited a response from an editor at Science, Tage Rai, and consequently, multiple responses to that from the Open Science community.
