If a dupe is performing research at either the Research Station or Super Computer (and possibly the material science terminal or VR terminal thinggy), you can get the dupe stuck in a frozen state at the table, with no research progress. This occurs if you see a dupe actively performing research, go into the Research screen, and deselect then re-select the currently researched node in the tree.
When you leave the Research screen, the dupe becomes frozen, no longer performing animations, and research points no longer accrue. Examining the properties of the research station shows that resources aren't being consumed (dirt in inventory not decreasing, etc).
1. Build a research station, power it, have dirt in storage.
2. Set up research task in Research screen.
3. Wait until dupe begins researching at the station.
4. Open the Research screen
5. Deselect the current research target.
6. Re-select the same research target.
7. Close the Research window.
Observe the dupe's now-frozen animation, and no science progress occurring.
A dupe can be un-wedged by using "Move To", at which point science research can work normally.
