The Price of Immunity

Researchers at MIT have developed half-inch modular blocks that can be constructed to produced different diagnostic devices. They hope that their low-cost, easy-to-assemble half-inch creations will soon land in the hands of many small laboratories around the world, to improve infection detection and monitoring.

PLOS author John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine, of Health Research and Policy, and of Statistics at Stanford University, considers how the scientific community can move toward greater truth in published research.

Science is great, not only because it generates knowledge and helps us create technologies that make our lives easier, but also because it brings people together. If we embrace science-based decision-making, we can make a huge impact on our society!
