Everything counts!
Every experiment, every drug trial, every data observation, every innovation, it all counts.
Even if it doesn’t seem like it at the time, even if the hypothesis was a flop, the drug failed to cure, even if the observation turned out to be noise, or the innovation just a modest improvement.
Everything in science counts.
Because that’s how math works… Because the stories in science don’t begin or end with a single paper, researcher, institution, or discovery.
Science spans across time, across fields of research, all adding to what came before. To form a greater ever-growing body of knowledge where every new result leaves us with the same question.
What comes next?
And the answer to that question is always the same.
More Science!
And more This Week in Science!

It’s time for Blair’s Animal Corner!
Can we save endangered birds with chemical camouflage?
It might be enough to fool some predators and save our feathered friends.
They speak!!
Many animals vocalize – quite a few we assumed lacked the ability. Plus, it appears to be an old common characteristic for vertebrates.
