3. The paper above looks at the role of "ex ante" peer review process, such as that of research grants, where results are not known at the time of review.
The paper below looks at inescapable incentive problems that arise when trying to incentivize both risk and effort.

(3/n) Inspired by work by Eric Betzig, @heilemannlab.bsky.social, @apombo1.bsky.social and others, we adopted Tokuyasu cryosectioning to enable TIRF-based DNA-PAINT imaging throughout fixed HeLa cells without range constraint. We started with the nucleus & Pol II to explore tkPAINT’s potential.
