In this episode, Drs. Nicole Quinn and Daylon James speak with Dr. Sarahanne Field, Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Trial and Error, about the importance of publishing negative results and studying science itself through meta-science. Sarahanne shares how the journal was founded to challenge publication bias and create space for well-designed studies that produce unexpected or null findings. The conversation explores incentives in academic publishing, the “file drawer problem,” registered reports, open data, and how cultural and structural change can support more transparent and rigorous science. Sarahanne closes with a hopeful vision for a research culture that rewards honesty, collaboration, and high-quality work, even when the results are not flashy.
