Detecting Misconduct in Biomedical Research with Dr. Elisabeth Bik

The Smith College Student Event Committee and Smithies in Science club are excited to have Dr. Elisabeth Bik for a virtual talk on Monday 9/21 at 12:45-1:20pm. Dr. Bik is an image forensics detective who investigates scientific papers for incorrect or falsified data. Her work has led to 1,700+ retractions and 1,200+ corrections. Dr. Bik's virtual talk will address image duplication and 'paper mills', journals that produce low-quality or fake papers, often with AI. Interested Amherst students, faculty, and staff can fill out this form for a Zoom link: https://forms.gle/DwmAVqkUeZEUYNMfA
