Running 10,000 gene expression tests? You might get 500 false positives by random chance. This is the "multiple hypothesis testing problem," and it's a critical flaw in modern biomedical research. The traditional fix, the Bonferroni correction, is so strict it often causing you to miss real discoveries. But a more powerful, modern method—the False Discovery Rate (FDR)—offers a revolutionary trade-off: what if you could control the proportion of false positives, not just the c
