With the coming of spring, we've changed our board! Stefan Gaillard will take up @vandermeer_rm's position as chair of JOTE, and we will add three new members to our board: Alex Visser, Sarahanne Field and Marcel Hobma. We will introduce them to you this week!


Our last new board member! As an investigative & science journalist, Marcel Hobma writes about the relations between science, industry and society, with a focus on the (bio)medical sciences. In addition, he is JOTE's social media manager and editor-in-chief of JOTE's blog.

Failure can be challenging when starting your PhD, but it's not the end of it, writes Shreya Pramanik in Science Magazine : "I developed critical thinking strategies and learned experimental techniques I never would have known about without the initial failed experiments."

Our board member Marcel Hobma paid a visit to the Museum of Failure, which recently opened an exhibit in Budapest! Why share this? Well, perhaps we are on the verge of announcing an exciting new project… Stay tuned!


Exciting news! We're teaming up with the MuseumofFailure to bring you an exhibition on failure in science! Knowledge needs failure. To highlight this, MOX and JOTE's Marcel Hobma collected fifteen cases from different eras and disciplines: museumoffailure.com/exhibitions/sc…
