What happens when the exact paper you need does not exist?
For Dr. Barbara Han, that is often where the real research begins.
Her lab may start with a question like, “How does Ebola interact with soil?” and find no direct answer. So the next step is to search outward, into nearby fields, asking how viruses persist in soil, which zoonotic viruses have been studied, and what evidence might help build the missing bridge.
In this clip, Dr. Han explains how Consensus helps her move into unfamiliar areas of research, get past disciplinary jargon, and find the closest available evidence without losing trust in the sources.
As she puts it, that process is “exactly what scientists want.”
