I know I haven't blogged for a while (backlogs are coming, someday), but get ye to the overlyhonestmethods hashtag bandwagon. It is science comedy gold.

I can't reproduce my own old results because my code 'evolved' during the years #OverlyHonestMethods

Code didn't work, no idea why.Code now works, no idea why. #overlyhonestmethods

This project took so long to complete due to the soul crushing depression of the postdoc working on it. #overlyhonestmethods

We used a simulation grid size of 40 because we can't afford more RAM. #overlyhonestmethods

The microbalance was so temperamental that an undergrad named it "Larry" in order to yell at it more effectively. #overlyhonestmethods

You can download our code from the URL supplied. Good luck downloading the only postdoc who can get it to run, though #overlyhonestmethods

We don't know how the results were obtained. The postdoc who did all the work has since left to start a bakery. #overlyhonestmethods

Data was analysed using in-house Perl-scripts. They are terrible and possibly wrong so please don't ask for them. #overlyhonestmethods

For version control and unit testing we used-- HAHAHA, no just kidding we didn't do that. And it's all in FORTRAN. #overlyhonestmethods

I used the original code by Mumbl (1970) because I'd rather kill myself than program in FORTRAN #OverlyHonestMethods

Learned new programming language and built data analysis from scratch to avoid paying over $10k for the right program. #OverlyHonestMethods

The code is available at URL, which no longer exists because they redesigned the department website with no redirects. #overlyhonestmethods

Samples were incubated for the duration of that super-cute baby animal video on Youtube. #OverlyHonestMethods

I originally intended to use 20 years worth of data, but I got bored after 10. Also, the 1998 file didn't work. #overlyhonestmethods
— James Mollard (@mollyman90) January 9, 2013
Additional variables were not considered because everyone involved is tired of working on this paper. #overlyhonestmethods
— Seth Zenz (@sethzenz) January 9, 2013
Because if we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be research.#overlyhonestmethods

My meager contributions:
Some model input files were remade because our lab has no data backup & lost them. We assume they match the old ones. #overlyhonestmethods

We'd compare results to the previous grad student's study but he saved everything on 200+ DVDs without documentation #overlyhonestmethods
— Melissa Day (@marshlight) January 9, 2013
Tech guy said "no IT group in their right mind would take on your setup as is" so good luck replicating our results #overlyhonestmethods
