Boston-area scientists and scientific method aficionados: Reproducibility Cafe will meet Monday April 14 at 7pm-8pm at my home near Davis Sq. (RSVP below or dm for the address!) We will discuss the role of scientific journals in ensuring replicable science! www.meetup.com/reproducibil...

Thank you for many stimulating conversations and a tour of a beautiful city @tamalika.bsky.social

🧪⚛️ Giving a talk next Tuesday, if anyone is interested. Registration here: signup.rice.edu/ScientDemocL...

Thoughtful look at the dangerous, corrosive effects of uncorrected errors and misconduct in research, from Indiana University scholars - Olivia C. Robertson, David B. Allison and colleagues www.scientificamerican.com/article/when...

Carl is right that this would be an expected change in the current circumstances. I think it is also important to note that some of the features of agencies' scientific integrity policy remain legal requirements even with NIH rescinding it. bsky.app/profile/carl...

I'm very happy to say that Plastic Fantastic, my book on scientific fraud at Bell Laboratories, is available online as an affordable paperback or ebook. The content is the same but it has taken taken months to reformat after rights reverted to me from the original publisher.

Final call for registration for meeting on research #fraud. Talks and discussion sessions with sleuths, research integrity experts, and more. Online and in person options. www.sjcfairsmeeting.com (turn off VPN if it doesn't load) #ResearchIntegrity #Oxford

Reproducibility Cafe will meet on March 3, 2025 near Davis Sq. Somerville, from 7pm to 8pm. RSVP on Meetup or DM for the address. We will discuss how to prevent legitimate concerns about cases of scientific fraud from being weaponized against science as a whole. www.meetup.com/reproducibil...

Google is so powerful that it "hides" other search systems from us. We just don't know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.

Booking now open for FAIRS conference; 7-9th April, St Johns College, Oxford. www.sjcfairsmeeting.com (turn off VPN if it doesn't load!) Covering method for detecting academic fraud, scale of the problem, role of institutions/funders, unintended consequences, future directions.

How academic leaders should respond to shock and awe "A whistleblower or a critic with concerns should be seen by leadership as an opportunity to stand tall and demonstrate an ability to listen and engage, not an inconvenient voice to muzzle," says @eugenie-reich.bsky.social.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

I hope this will be the beginning of what I am sure needs to be a long discussion in our community: arxiv.org/abs/2501.18631

Boston-area scientists, data analysts and advocates for reproducible science: register for February 10, 2025, 7pm-8pm in Davis Sq. Somerville or RSVP by DM. We will discuss incentives and pressures on working scientists whose data isn't giving a clear-enough picture to tell a publishable story.

Awake when everyone else is asleep…

So - I am teaching a course this quarter on "Microbial Phylogenomics" and it is in the Art building at @UCDavis. So in honor of that, I am using the DocCam to share some top notch science-art with my students. Here are nine drawings from class discussing Woese and Fox 1977

To accompany all those BlueSky science/academia #starterpacks, let’s share introductions to the literature of our fields Gravitational-wave papers (created with observablehq.com/@guillaume-l...) When the intro starts "We have opened a new window" you know you can skip a couple of paragraphs
