Dear List,
Reading Ben Goldacre's latest book 'Bad Pharma', one of the problems
he mentions is (some) researchers feel negative results are not
interesting and hence don't (aways) publish them. Does the list feel
that the same problem (lack of interest) exists with science
communication discussing/explaining negative results? The only
activity I can think of that brings them to public attention are the
IgNobels, but perhaps there are other events/formats ?
regards,
Richard
