Last Tuesday, I was happy to win the first “Trial and Error” award from the Utrecht Young Academy and the Journal of Trial and Error for an article on the effect of distracted eating on snack behavior that I wrote with my colleagues at Leiden University and Ruhr University Bochum.

The prize was created to recognize the important role of failure – or trial and error – in scientific research and aims to create a healthier research environment and publication culture by encouraging researchers to publish their negative and null results.

ScienceGuide wrote a piece (in Dutch) about the award and the winning article:
