Reproducible Research

Given NIH's new focus on rigor and reproducibility, here is a timely article, "Reproducible Research, Just Not Reproducible By You".

In it, David Crotty wonders if a researcher spends years perfecting a technique, is it plausible that someone without that expertise could reproduce the experiment exactly? He also looks at the oft-quoted Amgen article about reproducibility and calls into question its validity.
