Is there any way to reduce repeated science experiments in KSP?

There are many science experiments in the game that only give you part of the value whenever you carry them out and retrieve the data. So, even if you rerun the experiment, you only get part of the remaining value again. Leaving yet another fraction of the full value. Like, the first time you get 75%, the second time you get 75% of the remaining 25% for a total of . 93.75%, then 98.4375% for the third, and so on.

What advantage do I get by evolving my Pokemon?

How can I give (or sell?) my dwarves mugs in dwarf fortress?

I've crafted two bins full of mugs, yet I still have dwarves having unhappy thoughts about drinking without mugs. Question from user aslum at gaming.stackexchange.com.
