How does attention shape addiction? The new research reflection published in the Journal of Trial and Error suggests it might not be as straightforward as once thought; it’s a dynamic, context-dependent process. If you are interested, see the article: https://t.co/rpDczgB61L.

Does breaking protocol lead to new discoveries? A student researching electricity generation from wood did exactly that. Through a clever analogy, and the courage to challenge models, the student discovered the Popcorn effect. Reflections on the event: https://t.co/S4mhO1awTO

Science is said to ‘self-correct’. But who is this ‘self’? As Sergio Sismondo shows, correction isn’t neat - it’s shaped by pharma interests, politics, and media. Read the new Cultures of Trial and Error post here: https://t.co/j9Pkwr777H
