I've spent some time recently arguing the narrow point that "journal publishes only preregistered studies" is NOT a good measure of transparency. So let's also argue a broader point: that there is no "One true way to science" and prereg is important only for some ways 1/N
Preregistration seems to get at least part of its strength from the idea that making predictions - especially risky ones - is the strongest way we can confirm a theory. This is sensible, but not necessarily the whole picture. 2/N

I've been helping my wife (who is a pharmacist at a local hospital) with literature review for possible drugs against #COVID19. Blindly tagging some people I believe might provide further comment (based on Twitter search) @julie_justo@EmilySpivak @Dr_Mike_Stevens 1/N
Disclaimer first: I am NOT a medical professional, and this is not medical advice. I'm sharing if someone wants a starting point or add other good stuff. Also, we don't really know anything, there is no truly reliable data, all the evidence is weak and/or indirect. 2/N
