#39 Elisabeth Bik: How dangerous is fraud in science?

In this episode of #AskDifferent, Elisabeth Bik takes us behind
the scenes of her work as a 'science detective’, where she
meticulously scans thousands of published research papers for
signs of fraud – having uncovered manipulated and duplicated
images in over 7,600 scientific papers. But what drives
scientists to fake data, and how does this impact all of
us? Tune in to learn about the challenges of detecting fraud
and hear Elisabeth Bik’s compelling message on the urgent need
for systemic change. For her tireless fight to preserve integrity
in research, she was awarded the 2024 Einstein Foundation Award
for Promoting Quality in Research.
