If you’re a researcher, you know that you’re much more likely to disprove your hypothesis than validate it, but there aren’t a lot of incentives to go out and publish your failed experiments.

One journal is trying to change that attitude.
What To Do When Your Hypothesis Is Wrong? Publish!
In an effort to learn from scientific failure, The Journal of Trial Error only publishes “negative” results.

Hi Bluesky! I'm a developmental biologist interested in gene regulatory networks directing neural crest differentiation. Excited to join the science community here!
