$86 billion dollars was spent on basic science research in 2015, according to a National Science Foundation survey. However several high-profile articles have recently shown the lack of rigor and reproducibility within basic research.

Join Clarivate Analytics and the Biomedical and Life Sciences Division of SLA as they co-host the webinar Tackling Tough Topics Together to look at important questions concerning rigor and reproducibility, and to see what information professionals can do to help improve rigor in reporting.

Register to join us for this webinar on Tuesday, November 14th at 2pm EST, or watch the recording at your convenience.

Aristotle "devoted nearly a third of his writings—a dozen volumes, thousands of pages—to living things. There is comparative zoology in "Historia animalium,” functional anatomy in "The Parts of Animals,” a book on growth, two on animal locomotion, and two on aging and death. And then there is his greatest work of all: "The Generation of Animals” in which he described how animals develop in the egg and womb and outlined a theory of inheritance. It was the best one around until the day, 2,300 years later, when Gregor Mendel published his "Experiments on Plant Hybridization.” Aristotle underpinned his biology with a physical and chemical theory and a scientific method that lies atop metaphysical bedrock. There's a sense in which his entire philosophy was constructed in order to study living things.”
