Ronald Laymon, Ph. D., is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Philosophy at The Ohio State University where he specialized in the history and philosophy of science. He has published widely, was the recipient of multiple National Science Foundation research grants, and was a fellow at the Center for the Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh. He currently consults for a biotech, intellectual property firm that facilitates the open source creation of therapeutic technologies. Retirement has also made it possible for Laymon to resurrect his interest and earlier work in the history and philosophy of science. He is co-author, with Allan Franklin, of Measuring Nothing, Repeatedly: Null Experiments in Physics (with Allan Franklin), and Once Can Be Enough, Decisive Experiments No Replication Needed (with Allan Franklin). Allan Franklin, Ph. D., is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado. He began his career as an experimental high-energy physicist and later changed his research area to history and philosophy of science, particularly on the roles of experiment. He has twice been chair of the Forum on the History of Physics of the American Physical Society and served two terms on the Executive Council of the Philosophy of Science Association. In 2016, Franklin received the Abraham Pais Prize for History of Physics from the American Physical Society. He is the author of thirteen books including most recently Shifting Standards: Experiments in Particle Physics in the Twentieth Century, What Makes a Good Experiment? Reasons and Roles in Science, Is It the Same Result? Replication in Physics, Measuring Nothing Repeatedly: Null Experiments in Physics (with Ron Laymon), and Once Can Be Enough, Decisive Experiments No Replication Needed (with Ron Laymon).
