Amid growing concerns about the poor design of animal experiments and its implications for the translatability of experimental results, Michael F. W. Festing thinks it's time we do something about it.

Ethics committees and funding agencies often receive protocols that involve either too many or too few animals to answer the specific research question being investigated. It is evident that a greater ...

A sample survey has many potential sources of error that generally have a systematic effect on the outcomes. Therefore, many large-scale field experiments are ...

Introductory quantitative skills required to conduct experimental research and analyze resulting data. Principles of measurement, modeling of experimental data, and statistical design of experiments.

Design of Experiments can still deliver meaningful process insights by adapting proven methods to real-world manufacturing constraints. Design of experiments (DoE) is an efficient method for planning ...

Quantum designers: Florian Marquardt (left) and Leopoldo Sarra have shown how deep Bayesian experimental design can be applied to quantum many-body systems. (Courtesy: Leopoldo Sarra) As quantum ...

Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), also called quantitative PCR (qPCR), is one of the most powerful tools for nucleic acid analysis. However, inconsistencies in protocols, experimental design, ...
