Aim and content This PhD Supervisor Talk is for PhD students and PhD supervisors at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. Other faculty members and postdocs are also welcome. Publication bias is a subject often discussed in biomedical and clinical research, particularly when researchers invest time and money into a project which yields null results. Should we spend the time to write this up? Who will publish my work? When this speaker noticed the issue in clinical PhD and lab postdoc studies, she decided to try to address this! Consider the importance of discoverability of your work – even if results are null, to prevent research waste, advance research understanding, or even potential harm to patients. Hear some insights and lessons learned in the process of trying to make new inroads into enhancing research publication - 6 years into the project! We can’t do this alone as a small non-profit, but we can advocate for better infrastructure and support from funders in improving the quality of scientific research output and encourage researchers and institutions to see value for scientists and for patients in enhancing transparency and discoverability. About the speaker Professor Sandra Petty is a clinical and academic neurologist, working in the field of epilepsy at Alfred Health, St Vincent’s Health and Goulburn Valley Health in Australia. She is also the co-founder of the Center for Biomedical Research Transparency which is based in New York, and runs the Null Hypothesis Initiative, as well as the Biomedical Transparency Summit series – which brings together experts, stakeholders, policy makers and researchers for updates and networking on the state of transparency and related initiatives in biomedical and clinical research. Moderator Rikke Buhl, is Head of the Graduate School at the Faculty of Health and Medical Science. She is Professor in large animal cardiology and her research interest is within atrial fibrillation, translational perspectives and animal models. She has been PhD coordinator for many years at the Faculty, and has supervised numerous PhD students, postdocs and master students. Time and date Tuesday 9 April 2024, 15:30-17:00. Registration Please register no later than 3 April 2024. Venue Panum, Blegdamsvej 3b, 1st floor, Henrik Dam Auditorium. Organizer Mia Dabelsteen, mia.dabelsteen@sund.ku.dk, Senior advisor, The Graduate School.
