Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Trial and Error, Dr. Sarahanne Field, challenges one of the most entrenched incentives in research: the pressure to publish only positive results. In Season 3, Episode 4 of the Lab Coats & Life™ Podcast, she emphasizes how uncertainty makes researchers (and reviewers) uncomfortable, why “failing” to confirm a hypothesis often raises more valuable questions, and how the publishing landscape needs to evolve. If you’ve ever had a well-designed study that didn’t behave the way you expected, listen in. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
