npub1skvad2l2wrxgdmt6yxk9kt2rjhw5tucjzhf54pktfq2gg0qhgwyqdlaky3 (npub1skv…aky3) I know of several instances where this happened (someone doing what someone else was already doing, knowingly) 😕 (in experimental neuroscience)
Of course it probably also happens that two different labs start working on the same project independently… but how can you really know that it’s independent if the PIs all see each other’s grants during grant panels?
(Again, I really wish this wasn’t a problem and that instead, if you realized that team X was working on the same experiment at you, you could contact them and join forces. But in reality it’s going to be “let’s work faster to get this out before them”.)
