Since there is a sizable minority that doesn't understand the value of basic science, fine. Uncle Bob, you wouldn't have your precious weight loss drugs if a curious scientist hadn't started studying Gila monster venom. And more below.... 🧪

My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator. 🧪🌎

If you work in psychology in a research area without Registered Reports, you will see that the main hypotheses in papers are almost always supported. If your peers publish Registered Reports, you will also have access to null results, which should be very common. doi.org/10.1177/2515...
