Three constituent themes were identified: (1) inequity navigating labyrinth, (2) labyrinth place uncertainty isolation, (3) supervisors guides, not care providers. The results suggest significant inequities exist which poorer particular subgroups PGRs, both general specifically relation supervisory Experiences loneliness ambiguity around progress also identified being detrimental health.

In this study, we ask experience failing replicate an expected finding impacts students’ health. Using online survey paired with semi-structured qualitative interviews, examined how often science doctoral at a large American public university experienced events that could be interpreted as failures they responded experiences. We found almost all participants had irreproducibility: 84% failed their own results, 70% colleague’s finding, 58% result from published literature. Participants feelings self-doubt, frustration, depression while experiencing irreproducibility, 24% cases, emotional responses were strong enough interfere participants’ eating, sleeping, or ability work. A majority (82%) initially believed anomalous results attributed error. However, after further experimentation, most concluded original was wrong (38%), there key difference between experiment (17%), problem protocol (17%).
