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!

Who's with us?

We’re happy (pun intended!) to announce and celebrate our official Employee Vote winner of this year’s #StemCellfie Contest! Chiara Cimmaruta’s submission is a confocal image of a "smiling" skin organoid cryosection immunostained for Vimentin (dermis, green) and E-cadherin (epidermis, magenta). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Congratulations, Chiara, and thanks to all who entered.
