John Maddox Prize goes to scientific-integrity consultant Elisabeth Bik and clinician Mohammad Sharif Razai
A Dutch advocate for research integrity and a UK clinician who spoke out against a government report on ethnic disparities have been recognised for “standing up for science” in the face of adversity.
Our loud and enthusiastic congratulations to Elisabeth Bik and clinician Mohammad Sharif Razai. HUZZAH! They are 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
An additional prize—for an early career researcher who stands up for science—was awarded to Mohammad Sharif Razai (pictured, right), an academic clinical fellow in primary care and a general practitioner at the University of London, for “bringing an evidence-based understanding of racial health inequalities to bear in public and policy debates”.
