34. Lessons learned from Nobel Laureates' work, about positive and negative controls (mini-series: reading-23)

Foundational Skills in Life Sciences

We will complete the analysis of positive and negative controls in the milestone article of the Nobel Laureates of 2023. The article shows us one of the best examples of how to use positive and negative controls in life-science experiments. This episode will be Part 2 of a 2-part summary of control experiments. This will also conclude Step 11 of reading the article, which is to examine the key graph of the article. We can learn a lot from the Nobel Laureates!
