Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.

Scientists overwhelmingly recognize the value of sharing null results, but rarely publish them in the research literature

Last Thursday, the BMC meadows came alive for our Multiculti Potluck – a celebration of intercultural diversity at its best - with music from our international BMC playlist and outdoor games from around the world.

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.

NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.
