[Megan, Ponytail, and Cueball are standing at a lectern. Ponytail is talking into the microphone.]
Ponytail: In the early 2010s, researchers found that many major scientific results couldn't be reproduced.
[Ponytail turns slightly to look around the room.]
Ponytail: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today's studies have become more robust.
Ponytail: Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did.
[This panel shows a newspaper, with title "NEWS" surrounded by flourishes. There is a photo of the three researches at the lectern taking up about half the front page. The headline reads: "REPLICATION CRISIS SOLVED".]
