Can we teach an old dog new tricks, or should we get a new dog?
In this piece @Ben_Reinhardt and Dan Recht respond to @CabanaChemistry's article on the need for metascience to focus on the National Labs. Jordi then responds to their response. Which means we have ourselves a debate!

Whatever your baseline appreciation for existing institutions or desire for new ones, I hope this debate helps you hone your views and sharpen your arguments.
