Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presenting findings at a scientific conference or poster session is the most appropriate option as it allows for sharing initial results with a large audience of experts in the field, receiving feedback, and potentially forming collaborations or partnerships for further research. Press releases and newspaper reporters may not accurately represent the complexities of the research or the limitations of the findings, while publishing a full report in a peer-reviewed journal can take several months or even years, delaying the dissemination of important findings. Waiting until replication with an independent sample may also delay the dissemination of potentially important results.
