(Norway) Norway jails researcher who let Iranians use microscope – Times Higher Education (Ben Upton | November 2022)

This piece highlights important points for researchers who collaborate with researchers from other countries (including overseas international students).  Be aware of the defence export controls in your country, including the degree to which they include access to technology and the sharing of research methods.  You also need to be aware if your collaborators are from a country prescribed by your country’s export controls.  If you aren’t, as reported in this story, you may find yourself in a legal pickle and in prison.

(Romania) Romania’s plagiarism hunter becomes the hunted – RFI (Emilia Sercan | September 2022)

Academic freedom can be expressed as scientists/researchers speaking truth to power.  In that vein, scientific sleuths are exposing powerful charlatans and cheats because of their bad acts.  It is a sign of how hard that exposure bites when the exposure prompts attacks and vilification of the sleuths. This latest case from Romania is an example of that.  Such sleuths are worthy of praise, not attack.

Trolling Is Taking a Toll on Science Journalism – Undark (Lisa Palmer & Silvio Waisbord | May 2022)

The design, conduct and reporting of research should be shaped by the principles of research integrity, the design and to tackle the serious problems confronting society.  Scientific journalism should identify and explore promising new lines of enquiry and the surprising findings of rigorous research.  But trolls and their hateful behaviour is dashing that.  Research and important stories are not being written because of how the mob will react

Open peer review is the key to tackling public health misinformation – Times Higher Education (Rebecca Lawrence | June 2022)

We have written recently about the real damage been done to the academic record, public trust and safety by dodgy theories and crackpot treatments that appear in questionable publishers.  As discussed in this Times Higher Education piece, one way to tackle this problem would be to lift the veil on peer review.  This will be a challenging change, but it could stop the spread of misinformation before it starts.  We have included links to eight related items.

(China) Elite journals under scrutiny over role in Wuhan lab leak debate – Times Higher Education (David Matthews | June 2021)

We were amongst those that dismissed the Wuhan lab leak story as a fringe and nutty theory. This was in part because of our opinion of the orangutan Trump. But as this Times Higher Education piece discusses, over the last few months some more credible commentators have observed that it is a theory that warrants more careful consideration.

The Rise of Science-Based Investigative Journalism – Global Investigative Journalism Network (James Fahn | January 2022)

Chances are, you can think of at least one example of where a journalist (including network anchors) demonstrates they don’t really understand science or the scientific method.  The COVID pandemic has afforded a plethora of pearlers that are dangerous and/or toxic.  This story points to a welcome change that appears to be underway.  And it can’t happen soon enough.

(Netherlands and the UK) Dutch and UK scientists awarded for ‘standing up for science’ – ResearchProfessional News (Sophie Inge | December 2021)

Our loud and enthusiastic congratulations to Elisabeth Bik and clinician Mohammad Sharif Razai.  HUZZAH!  They separately making important and essential contributions to science.  Elisabeth Bik in being an amazing sleuth in finding and calling out cheats and image manipulating charlatans.  Mohammad Sharif Razai for shining a light on systemic racism and exclusion in science. Love both of your work.
