If that finding is correct, then a warming world could mean the end of the relatively peaceful era in which we are now living.
If the finding is correct, it means that models of the Milky Way's evolution "are significantly incomplete," says astronomer Roelof de Jong of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland.
Repeated outcomes in the same direction favouring the treatment are reported in terms of a probability that the finding is correct.
But a number of scientists, including Dr. Turner, said it was still unclear whether the finding was correct.
Others say that even if the new finding is correct, it may not contradict at least some of the benefits Wagers and others reported, says molecular biologist Se-Jin Lee of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, who studies myostatin.
"I do not want to prejudice the case but we would expect everyone we contact to help us with our inquiry and ensure the findings are correct".
If the findings are correct, an undercount of dwarfs would mean astronomers have underestimated the masses of galaxies, and that would mean that galaxies developed earlier and faster than currently thought.
It remains to be seen whether the infection causes the disease or vice versa, says NIH virologist and co-author Harvey Alter but he's "confident" that the findings are correct.
So if these findings are correct, it does not appear that neighborhood diversity inevitably fosters a hunkering-down mentality.
If these findings are correct, the most parsimonious summary of our results is that social bias plays at most a minor role in determining review outcomes.
To ensure these findings were correct, we performed the same analysis on the full dataset (n = 743) with similar results (data not shown).
