Tiny Perfusion Letter #821

Tiny Perfusion Letter

Research is exciting!

We’re sure not everyone would agree, because it’s probably the coming to an insight or confirmative result, or winning an award or applause after a presentation, that creates the excitement. But the road to it, the long hours of thinking, reading, planning, executing repetitive experiments and searching for a solution/answer - those are the less exciting parts of research. But also sometimes not… It can also be fun

When scanning the newsletters, blogs, tables of contents and whatsnot to curate yours very own TPL/TEL, we stumbled upon this curious title from a journal called Brain Communications (yup, that’s a thing). The title is: Replication study: the case of disappearing teaspoons in a Scottish neuroscience department

It’s Open Access and it’s about disappearing teaspoons - that’s all we’re going to say about it…
