Very much looking forward to this important meeting. We must defend science against authoritarian intrusions, but part of that defense must involve better means to tackle (rare but sadly significant) research fraud.

Worth the read! In addition to the problematic they discuss, I find that some of these worries also apply when you are a foreigner in a lab and don't master the local language - this might exclude you from coffee or lunch conversations and make you have less scientific exchanges 😔
