Abstract
Decisions involving cooperation or competition are common in science. Here, we consider three situations frequently encountered in the biomedical sciences, namely, establishing priority, sharing reagents, and selecting a journal for publication, through the lens of the prisoner's dilemma. In each situation, cooperation is the best strategy for scientists and for science.
