By Natasha Karp To improve the reproducibility, we need to change the way we design our in vivo experiments To understand the effect of a treatment, our experiments simplify a complex world by generating control and treatment groups allowing us to isolate cause and effect. This generates an inference or testing space, which arises […]

By Olavo Amaral Awareness of reproducibility issues in various areas of science has been on the rise in recent years, with systematic replication efforts in areas such as psychology, economics, cancer biology and social sciences arising in recent years. The low reproducibility rates in some of these areas raise the question of whether irreproducible […]
