What are the consequences for them? And what happens with the results they generated? It shocked me to see how aggressively society reacted when scientists had to repeatedly amend their assumptions about the Coronavirus. People expected that what [German virologist] Christian Drosten says will hold true for all of time \u2013 even though we were able to watch scientists conduct their research in real time. In fact, they had repeatedly stressed that they didn\u2019t yet know much about the virus. I got the impression that science assumes a pseudo-religious status \u2013 expressed in the omniscient scientist \u2013 in many people\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Was it difficult to find people to talk about this topic, given the taboo?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it was, partly because I didn\u2019t know who had in fact failed. And when I talk to researchers about failing, they don\u2019t want it made public. Even though conferences were already being held on the topic in 2021, like the ones organized by the Volkswagen Foundation and the University of Erlangen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Failure can be interpreted in very different ways. There is the concrete failure of doing something, i.e. in the strict sense, but it could also connote the absence of recognition from the scientific community.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s true. We have to differentiate very precisely between different types of failing, including, for example, because you followed a risky hypothesis and the assumption turned out to be wrong, i.e. you were pursuing an incorrect idea. That\u2019s a normal part of research. Then there\u2019s the type of failure you encounter because you made a mistake at some point during the research process. In both cases, these are problems that universities and research institutes have to address. In 2021, psychologist Maja Dschmuchadse of the University of Applied Sciences Zittau-G\u00f6rlitz criticized the fact that there was too little independent checking, arguing, among others, that academic papers should not be assessed by people involved in the work. Together with several colleagues, she had published a position paper critical of the power relations at universities and research institutes, for instance. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laborjournal.de\/editorials\/2336.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link to the Paper<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fuckup Nights are popular in the start-up-scene, but don\u2019t constitute a solution to the problem, do they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, I think the Fuckup Nights in the start-up scene are more of a performance. I don\u2019t think shows like that are really helpful. The point is not to put failure on a pedestal of sorts, which would constitute a false glorification, but to treat failure as something normal. In line with the motto: failure happens, it\u2019s part of normal life, but it\u2019s better not to fail! What\u2019s important is to draw conclusions from \u201cfailed projects\u201d and use them for future benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Beitragsbild_Goethe-Medienpreis2022.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Beitragsbild_Goethe-Medienpreis2022.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59613\" width=\"325\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Beitragsbild_Goethe-Medienpreis2022.jpg 650w, https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Beitragsbild_Goethe-Medienpreis2022-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f3f3f3\"><strong>GOETHE MEDIA PRIZE 2022<\/strong><br><br><strong>THE WINNERS<\/strong><br><strong>FIRST <\/strong>Jeanette Schindler: \u00bbScheitern\u00ab in der Wissenschaft \u2013 Wie ein Tabu das Forschen erschwert [\u201cFailing\u201d in science \u2013 How a tabu impedes research] (S\u00fcdwestrundfunk, March&nbsp;3, 2022)<br><strong>SECOND <\/strong>Lea Weinmann (et al.): China Science Investigation (S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung, May&nbsp;19, 2022)<br><strong>THIRD <\/strong>Friederike Haupt: Vorbilder.

Why?] (Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, December&nbsp;5, 2021)<br><br>The <strong>Goethe Media Prize<\/strong> was awarded for the eighth time in 2022. It was established in 2008 on the initiative of Goethe University and co-funded by the FAZIT Foundation and the German Association of University Professors and Lecturers (DHV). To this day it remains the only award in the German-speaking area that focuses solely on the works of journalists in science and university policy. Since 2008, the prize \u2013 which comes to almost 50,000 euros \u2013 has been awarded to 21 laureates, in the categories of print, online and radio media. Comprised of recognized experts, the jury was faced with a particularly difficult choice this time, having received nearly 300 applications mainly from leading supraregional media. The Goethe Media Prize has established itself as an independent award in an extensive field of more than 300 German prizes for journalists. The Goethe Media Prize 2022 was presented at the DHV\u2019s \u201cGala der Deutschen Wissenschaft\u201d on April 3, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But there is a certain \u201cfalse glorification\u201d as described by Prof. Julika Griem, Vice President of the German Research Foundation [Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG]?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, exactly. What Ms. Griem is talking about is failure becoming stylized into a bullet point on a CV. Ultimately, what she is interested in is a responsible approach to research funding. I understand that the way these DFG funds are invested must be carefully weighed, also due to the criticism that too little is invested in innovative research ideas because they initially don\u2019t appear likely to generate success and profit. In my opinion we\u2019ve backed traditional thinking for far too long, particularly when it comes to searching for new forms of energy and sustainability.In your feature you also talk about the problem facing early career researchers, who are under tremendous pressure and therefore can afford to make even fewer mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In your feature you also talk about the problem facing early career researchers, who are under tremendous pressure and therefore can afford to make even fewer mistakes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, that\u2019s right. Physicist Vahid Sandoghdar, a Humboldt Professor at the University of Erlangen and director of the Max Planck Institute there, recalled in an interview that he finds it absolutely normal in his day-to-day activities when something doesn\u2019t work. But of course he\u2019s speaking about failure from a privileged position \u2013 after all, the scientific community is well aware of his successes. When you\u2019re just embarking on a scientific career it\u2019s much more difficult to sell a failure, even if the reasons for it may be very varied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your feature also mentions the so-called reproducibility crisis \u2013 in psychology, a study repeated under identical conditions replicated only 36 percent of the results.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011, the Center for Open Science launched a project, as part of which more than 100 scientific psychological studies were repeated. Afterward, while taking a closer look at the results, it was found that information about an experiment\u2019s set-up and procedures is just as crucial as information on how the human subjects were selected. What\u2019s more, this data must also be made accessible to other researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On the one hand we lack a \u201cculture of failure,\u201d while on the other, we constantly strive for success \u2013 isn\u2019t this a tricky balancing act?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, aiming for success and accepting failure \u2013 shaking off its taboo \u2013 are certainly not mutually exclusive. Quite the opposite: If a research group or institute wants to be successful, it must address the topic of failure. It is imperative to discuss why something failed and how the findings can be used. When errors occur, it\u2019s better to talk about them openly \u2013 without discrediting the person who caused them \u2013 so they are not repeated. An open and respectful approach to failure and a constructive culture of errors lead to more success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Would more willingness to embrace a culture of errors also be helpful in journalism? Might some people fear that such a culture could encourage accusations of \u201cfake news\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re very careful to avoid mistakes. Even though every text is double-checked by a colleague, of course mistakes still occur. I consider it normal that journalists assume responsibility for any errors, correct any misrepresentations, and apologize. I don\u2019t think doing so damages a journalist\u2019s reputation \u2013 I think it enhances it. After all, accusations of \u201cfake news\u201d don\u2019t always have to do with objectively false claims in the media, but with different perceptions or interpretations of reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>Questions: Dirk Frank<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:78%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"Radio-Feature und Manuskript (SWR2)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link: Radio-Feature (SWR2)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview with journalist Jeanette Schindler, winner of the 2022 Goethe Media Prize for her radio feature on the subject of \u201cfailing\u201d in science.
