For Yet Better Science

The "New Statistics" emphasizes effect sizes, confidence intervals, meta-analysis, and the use of Open Science practices. We present 3 specific ways in which a New Statistics approach can help improve scientific practice: by reducing over-confidence in small samples, by reducing confirmation bias, and by fostering more cautious judgments of consistency. We illustrate these points through consideration of the literature on oxytocin and human trust, a research area that typifies some of the endemic problems that arise with poor statistical practice.

The National Tripartite Event Poland took place in Krakow, and online, from October 24 th   to October 26 th   under the context of the EOSC Festival and main theme "Open Science for Better Science".   The event was organised by the National Science Centre (NCN), the Polish mandated organisation in the EOSC Association and a coordinator of the EOSC Poland network. Zbigniew Błocki, Director of NCN, and Mateusz Gaczyński, the Deputy Director at the Department for Innovation and Development in the Ministry of Education and Science, introduced the goals of the event, enhancing the importance of the dialogue between key EOSC stakeholders.

When it comes to health care — and the research that informs it — it's time to include everyone. Precise, effective medicine focuses on each individual’s biology, psychology, and medical history. This means understanding our unique needs to develop more inclusive treatments. Women’s Health Research at Yale incorporates the study of women and the influence of sex and gender in science and medicine. We bring together Yale faculty from diverse fields. We respond to health questions women face and discover sex/gender differences that benefit all. We train the next generation of researchers and clinicians committed to improving the health of women. And we collaborate in advancing health policy. Learn more about how we're shaping the future of research.

We are a team of scientists, medical professionals, former laboratory workers, researchers, and educators who are dedicated to evolving the scientific paradigm to one that serves all and protects the vulnerable. Advancing biomedical research to improve global health is a noble endeavor. We at Better Science Campaign believe that achieving this goal must not come at a cost of compromising our ethics, especially when considering animals viewed as research subjects.

Ethics should be as much of a guide as science and technology, an astrophysicist argues

Research shows embracing your circadian rhythm (and the power of sleep) can make you more influential and decisive, and a better boss.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have identified specific proteins and amino acids that could control bioenergy plants' ability to identify beneficial microbes that can enhance plant growth and storage of carbon in soils.
