> Telling scientists to "stay in their lane" and avoid talking about their research in public isn't going to improve the quality of that discourse.

There's a difference between results that have been validated by multiple studies and replicated, and results that have only one or two studies backing them. I think the replication crisis clearly shows why.

Furthermore, there's also a difference between scientists making positive claims and scientists correcting improper interpretations of existing results.

I think my post was pretty clear about what scientists should not be writing about on social media. Writing about anything else is perfectly fine.
