I think one of the bigger takeaways is how research and funding is geared towards flashy results, or at least, "results" in the sense that confirming a null hypothesis isn't exciting. Larger data sets, and replication of existing studies would be fantastic. And, I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but people seeking out to confirm their own opinion and obscuring p-values to meet it. At least, that seems like a possibility.
