"Interactive seminar on practical dilemme in the life of a scientistist trying to do the right thing"

ABSTRACT

The workshop will be in two sections. In the first half, we will discuss various dilemma that scientists, and in particular young scientists, encounter in their professional experience. This will be highly interactive and based on the experience of the participants (reading, writing, evaluating articles; attempting to reproduce published work; etc). In the second half, I will describe my own experience of engaging in controversies in bionanoscience, the barriers to correction of the scientific record, and then we will debate practical solutions that may improve our practices individually and as a scientific community.
