🚨 During the pandemic, science moved faster than ever — but did speed mean sloppiness?
A new MIRROR summary from Science Integrity Alliance breaks down a study tracking how early COVID-19 preprints changed after expert review. The results? 🧠
✅ 4 in 5 preprints kept their core conclusions.
⚙️ Data stayed mostly the same — but some abstracts shifted tone.
🔍 Transparency and data sharing still lagged behind.
Science under pressure mostly held firm — but the study reminds us that open, transparent review is key to fighting misinformation and building public trust.

Thank you for posting this, it was an interesting watch. A good lay summary and I particularly liked this phrase : "They show science as it happens: messy, evolving and self-correcting". I think that policymakers and the public can lose sight of the fact that science isn't perfect, it is messy and evolves over time through that self-correction. I hope that the research community can work together to communicate that better. Videos like this can be a part of that.
