Two of the cornerstones of science advancement are rigor in designing and performing
scientific research and the ability to reproduce biomedical research findings. The application
of rigor ensures robust and unbiased experimental design, methodology, analysis,
interpretation, and reporting of results. When a result can be reproduced by multiple
scientists, it validates the original results and readiness to progress to the next phase of
research. This is especially important for clinical trials in humans, which are built on studies …
