SciFact vs SciFraud Part II: Revenge of the Responsible Scholars

In the epic battle against scientific fraud, a courageous assembly of researchers stood united and rebelled against the dark forces of data manipulation and fabrication. Armed with powerful forensic and statistical tools, these heroes sought to vanquish all that is deceitful and guide the scientific community back to the path of righteousness.

In the second installment of our two-part series: SciFact vs SciFraud, we explored the forensic and mathematical tools we have at our arsenal to detect signs of scientific fraud. This episode again features our image forensics expert, Dr. Elizabeth Bik and our expert statistician, Dr. Leif Nelson.

This episode is produced by Isaac Chang, Marilyn Steyert, Camila Benitez, and Cindy Liu. Music is from Blue Dot sessions. Cover art is generated by DALL-E. You can find the pdf transcript of this episode here.
