BioSupply Trends Quarterly Receives First Place Recognition in the San Diego Press Club's 43rd Annual Excellence in Journalism Awards

Temecula, Calif. – BioSupply Trends Quarterly (BSTQ), a publication by FFF Enterprises, Inc., received first place in the "Magazines: Health & Medicine" category in the San Diego Press Club's 43rd Annual Excellence in Journalism Awards. The article recognized for this award, "Irreproducible Research: The Need for Study Validation," was written by contributing writer Jim Trageser.

Trageser's article purports that changes are necessary in the way scientific research is currently conducted to ensure its legitimacy and efficacy. Specifically discussed is what is known as the "reproducibility crisis," coined as such because a significant percentage of scientific study results are unable to be reproduced by others.
