Truth - the number of labbooks it took to generate one paper.
That holding your breath when an experiment gave the interesting result - then you had to repeat it- multiple times - to ensure it was valid.
My dad was a biochemist. He once said research is mostly failures and roadblocks and rarely success. It’s why funding is so important: success is longterm and new theories build upon others’ research. This war on knowledge is asinine. Maddening!
