𝗔 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿𝘀 Sholto David, PhD has created a stir by uncovering image manipulations in renowned scientific journals, causing the retraction of several papers. Join us for his Postdoc Talk on 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 (1-2:30 pm, via Zoom), where he will discuss different types of image errors and how to identify them. After a basic introduction to the problem, he will present examples of errors in different journals, subject areas, research groups, and institutions. David will also tell us how he scans the scientific literature for problematic images, identifying over 2600 affected papers, share some data related to journals and publishers and discuss his quixotic efforts to resolve these errors. To conclude, we will dicsuss why image (and other) errors matter. This Postdoc Talk has been organized by HRA Postdoc Network member Dr Rory Hennell James, who is a postdoctoral researcher at UKE Institut für Struktur- und Systembiologie and CSSB Centre for Structural Systems Biology. ➡ Register here: https://lnkd.in/e6ggWMwn 💡 More information about Sholto David’s work and the Dana-Farber retractions: https://lnkd.in/e7YZ7z4J

[#Conference] The 15th International Conference on Large-Scale Scientific Computations (LSSC 2025) organized by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences will be held on 16–20 June 2025, in Sozopol, Bulgaria. LSSC 2025 provides a forum for the exchange of innovative ideas between scientists, who develop and study numerical methods and algorithms, and researchers, who apply them in the resolution of real-world issues. We invite you to attend this conference and submit your recent research: https://lnkd.in/grjdE-cF https://lnkd.in/egfTNa99 MDPI #parallelalgorithms #numericalalgorithms #LSSC2025

Dr Tao Lei, Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Social Sciences and Policy Studies, has been honoured with the prestigious William E. Mosher and Frederick C. Mosher Award for his exceptional contribution to the field. The award recognises his co-authored article entitled ‘Advancing the Frontiers of Genomic Public Administration: From Genetics to Administrative Attitudes, Behaviors, and Practices’. The article was selected as the best academic article of 2023 in Public Administration Review, a top 5%-ranked journal in its field. This research proposes a new research sub-field, Genomic Public Administration, with the aim of bridging behavioural genetics and public administration research. This is the first time an Asian scholar has received this award. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gn2pWbAA #eduhk #教大 #scholar #PublicAdministration

3 cheers for basic research! This study looks at the contributions of basic research projects funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). "46% of researchers indicated a current or potential future contribution to media beyond specialist audiences (e.g., general public print media), 25% to cultural heritage (e.g. globally free access to digital conservation projects), 25% to health improvements (e.g. new drugs and therapeutic methods), 18% to environmental improvements (e.g. improved biodiversity, reduced CO2 emissions from cleaner production technology), 9% a change to a regulation (e.g. new norms and standards) and 6% improved security of the population (e.g. improved protection against cyberattacks)."

A big thank you to the whole team for the excellent cooperation. most interesting for me: 1. the usual narrative, basic research may be useful after 20 years, is simply not true. Effects arrive before that - short-term spending effects also hold for public expenditures on basic research. The average time from the beginning of the research activities up to the concrete economic or societal impact is about 5 years, according to our survey of FWF-funded project leaders. 2. I was surprised by the number and the quality of start-ups in advanced key technologies that emerge from basic research. As such, basic research is really a contributor to structural change (nothing new viewed from an international perspective, but seeing it in action, using concrete examples in Austria, it does provide a different perspective).
