  • wie Misserfolg in der Wissenschaft erlebt wird,
  • zeigen Beispiele dafür, wie Forschende aus Rückschlägen gelernt haben,
  • und beschreiben, welche Wege es gibt, Forschende darauf vorzubereiten, mit Misserfolgen und "Fiaskos" umzugehen und darauf zu reagieren.​
     

Der Text ist hier: Why talking about failure matters – The Auditorium: a research culture and researcher development blog
