Many folks keep pointing out how published research is itself biased towards positive results, and how replication (and failed replication!) trumps mere "first!!!11" publication.

Clarity check: "trumps" = "is (normatively) more important than"?

Also,

("he can't implant engineered tissue in a rat heart and he calls himself a scientist?!")

will be really confusing if/when that entry drops off the front page.
