I once had the opportunity to have lunch with Nobelist Murray Gell-Mann at a US National Academy of Sciences meeting. Gell-Mann’s many notable breakthroughs are crowned by his discovery of quarks, an ...

Antibodies are foundational tools in modern biology, used in everything from flow cytometry to in vivo depletion studies, yet they are rarely treated as controlled experimental variables. Lot-to-lot ...

Nature polled bench scientists to find out what they thought about the much-discussed crisis of reproducibility in published scientific reports. What does it take to stop the sale of snake oil? Share ...

Survey of more than 1,600 biomedical researchers also flagged small sample sizes and cherry-picking of data as leading causes of reproducibility problems. Nearly three-quarters of biomedical ...

Science is in a reproducibility crisis, according to officials at recently launched Briefly Bio, which is headquartered in London. They add that in preclinical research, it’s estimated that over 50% ...

In a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of 41 authors from around the globe argue that virtual reality has the potential to do the same for behavioral ...

72% of participants agreed there was a reproducibility crisis in biomedicine, with 27% of participants indicating the crisis was “significant.” The leading perceived cause of irreproducibility was a ...

Researchers are struggling to reproduce a paper that showed quantum dots could detect copper ions inside living cells. Now they're calling all nanoscientists for help. The researchers, based in the ...

Philosophy of science is often dismissed as useless by practicing scientists. From young researchers scrambling to get tenure or finish a dissertation, to industry scientists buried under a mountain ...

Back in high school chemistry, I remember waiting with my bench partner for crystals to form on our stick in the cup of blue solution. Other groups around us jumped with joy when their crystals formed ...
