How do you justify (or would you justify) a new research study to ensure it doesn’t unnecessarily duplicate previous work or repeat past methodological mistakes?
I’m currently working on a PhD thesis focused on Evidence-Based Research (EBR), particularly on how researchers use (or fail to use) prior evidence (similar studies), to justify and design new research. I’d love to hear real-world experiences, whether from preparing research proposals or evaluating them. Do you use any structured or unstructured method to be aware of all relevant prior research? How do you support your judgments (e.g., demonstrating that no prior studies exist, or that...

What is the most important research material in protein bioinformatics? 1. Protein sequence 2. Protein structure 3. Protein-related Software 4. A high-speed computer
A protein's sequence contains its intrinsic properties as a code. Nobel laureate scientist, C. B. Anfinsen proved it through experiments. Unlike sequence, since structures are man-made and obtained under different laboratory conditions, they may contain human error. Further, unlike nucleic acid, to date, the protein-folding code is unknown. So, in my opinion the study of protein sequence is primary. It is better if one can include structure study with it. But little can be said about this...

When turning at intersections, how difficult do you find it to detect pedestrians on the crosswalk? And how helpful do you think visual or sound warnings (like lights or beeps) would be?
Turning at intersections presents a common challenge for drivers, especially when pedestrians are crossing from the left or right side. Detecting pedestrians in these situations can be difficult due to blind spots, A-pillar obstruction, distractions, and poor visibility (e.g., nighttime, fog, or busy environments). To enhance safety, researchers and manufacturers are exploring pedestrian warning systems that use visual (e.g., LED lights) and auditory (e.g., beep sounds) alerts to help drivers...

Does the number of unread emails correlate with blood pressure?
The hypothesis is simple: as unread emails increase, so does stress — and potentially blood pressure. Yes, it’s a light-hearted question, but it taps into a real intersection of digital life and mental/physical health. With email overload being a known contributor to workplace burnout, this research could highlight a simple, visible marker of digital stress, making people’s blood boil.

Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
