Event Description

We have all experienced the "my experiment did not work". It is the unavoidable reality of doing research. However, many frustrating moments, days, months and at times even years, can be avoided by a collective effort to be true to yourself, your colleagues, and the scientific community at large. At this meeting we will discuss best practices that will help you make contributions that really count.
