@mzdravkov@mastodon.green I wish people show more of those in conferences / publications, instead of only positive ones / things that worked. It creates fake image of research avenue as clear defined steps rather than messy and confusing exploration of the unknown...

@lpryszcz@genomic.social I’ve also thought about the potential of a journal of negative results. Writing a short article of what you tried and didn’t work could be useful to either prevent other people of doing the same thing that’s a dead end, or to lead to someone spotting a mistake in your approach and saving an ultimately good project from abandonment.
