The Journal of Trial and Error is hosting its second Trial & Error Award ceremony this year and nominations are still open!
The aim is to celebrate researchers who have explored scientific failure in any scientific article published between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025. The scope is considerably wide, so if you think something might fit, send along your nomination!
The winning article will be selected via live lottery from the pool of nominees at the Trial and Error Symposium on October 7, to which all nominees are welcome to join (and others, of course).
The Journal of Trial and Error feels strongly that our community is strengthened through the recognition of failed research as invaluable to the scientific process. This award was designed to explicitly celebrate this research and to disrupt the culture of stigma surrounding failure in our community.
Help us to redefine how we value failure in the pursuit of knowledge, and in doing so shed some light on the contributions of your colleagues.
