But in 2008 several geneticists convinced me that the field had advanced far enough to give us a good chance of getting useful results.

但是在2008年的时候，几位遗传学家说服了我，他们告诉我遗传学领域已经有了十足的进步，运用相关技术手段我们会获得很多有用的结果。

Geneticists have mostly mended their ways, tightening statistical criteria, but other fields still need to clean house, Ioannidis says.

大部分的基因学者已经修正了他们的方向，提高了统计标准，但在其他领域仍然需要清理门户，埃尼迪斯说。
