- harimau777 6y agoUnless you can get a PhD or funding from failed results I don't see graduate students giving any priority to publishing them.
- refurb 6y agoExactly. I could see a PI saying "well, you'll finish your PhD in 5 years if you're lucky and most of your experiments are successful. In the meantime, could I get you to spend 6 months writing up all these unsuccessful experiments? You'll get zero credit for it and it will delay your PhD. Thanks!"
