  • Ep 64 - Failed Experiments? Important for machine learning and the scientific process!

    Failed experiments are usually hidden in our notebooks and computer, not shared in the literature, but they're important for the scientific process! In this podcast, we'll discuss how it's also important for machine learning assisted chemical experiments.
