SCIENCE: Reporting on Academic Misconduct and the Business of Science
Science is often admired for its pure and infallible nature, but scientists are humans and, like any of us are affected by biases, conflicts of interest and money. And sometimes they do bad things that need exposing. Why do scientists go rogue, and what are the stories we can tell about this? How do you find stories about bad science, and how do you tell them? How do funding and policy affect research priorities? Come and learn about this and more in this session organised in partnership with the Association of British Science Writers.
