Topic: When research goes wrong, turn the table or ditch? This roundtable discussion will delve into the topic of how, what, when, and why to proceed from failed research in the nuclear mathematics and computational community. Do you pivot, ditch it all, or turn it all around? Also, how is failure currently perceived in the MCD community especially when it comes to publishing? Has this changed from the past and will it change going forward? These are just some of the questions that will be explored. Personal anecdotes and experiences will be shared from a panel of speakers as well as the audience.
