#HandOfGod

Recent scandals, retractions, and evidence of fraud or misconduct in science have brought a number of important issues to the forefront that I think are worh our attention. In this session I will briefly present some examples, but mainly I would like to discuss the reasons for this flurry of interest in how science is done, and what we might consider as ways to solve the problem (if we agree that there is a problem). You can prepare for this discussion by reading some of the examples and comments on the Retraction Watch (http://retractionwatch.com/) and PubPeer (https://pubpeer.com) websites. And, of course, at the Twitter feed in the title.
