Elisabeth Bik is a Dutch microbiologist who has a talent for
identifying duplicated patterns. She turned her attention to the
question of scientific integrity more than a decade ago, and has
since been responsible for the retraction of more than a thousand
papers that have blatant image manipulation in them. We talk to
her about the work of image sleuthing, the nature of science that
induces people to fake data, the impact of rotten data filling
low-tier journals, and how questionable practices reach all the
way to the top. Tell us what you think in the comments or on our

studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
