Censorship of addiction research is an abuse of science
Researchers must stand up to funders that insist on gagging clauses.
Kypros Kypri was pleased to receive funding from a government agency in the Australian state of New South Wales to study problem drinking.

Researchers find no connection between serotonin gene, stress and depression - April 4, 2017
New research findings often garner great attention. But when other scientists follow up and fail to replicate the findings? Not so much. In fact, a recent study published in PLOS One indicates that only about half of scientific discoveries will be replicated and stand the test of time. So perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that new research led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis shows that an influential 2003 study about the interaction of genes, environment and depression may have missed the mark.
