      Talking to a basic scientist about Registered Reports today. ‘It doesn’t work for basic science’ he said. ‘We get our data, *then* work out what story we can tell to get us into Nature’. No idea there might be anything wrong with that.

      I was told "that doesn't sound like something that makes sense for animal research" without any further explanation 🤔

      Other things that apparently don’t make sense for animal research include ‘sample size calculations’ and ‘having a clue how statistics works’.

      I find this so confusing. Most rodent studies I've read use 10-15 animals per group and I've never seen any justifications for why the numbers are chosen 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

          Because there are none. At least, none grounded in any meaningful power analysis or sample size calculation. The justification is usually “this is what we could afford in the budget while doing all the stuff we wanted”

          Surely that's unethical. I mean, you have to euthanize the animals after the study, if you're not getting meaningful results you're just killing rats for no reason

          The new editorial policies for NPG seems to have pushed the number of studies reporting a priori sample size estimates for their in vivo studies to 15 %. It's still super low, but it's at least something. Source:https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/187245v1 …
