Read MoreExperiments that don’t go as expected and trials that yield negative results are critical for moving science forward. Research scientists discuss the value of failed experiments. A new series for ResearchGate by Katherine LindemannArticle contributed by Michele Heisler Researchers don’t dream of negative studies, but experiments that don’t go as expected and trials that yield negative results are critical for moving science forward. To highlight this important part of the research process, we asked research scientists to speak about their own experiences with “failure.” Our first contributor is Michele Heisler, a…
