Is there any advice onto how one deals with research misconduct in the industry? That allows to avoid expensive pitfalls like Theranos? Is leaving the place the best option? Simply leaving the place doesn't seem optimal. It feels like, it just leaves an opening for a recent H1 from a poor country, with a different tolerance for dishonesty. And the end-result is continuing misconduct.
- raziel2701 8y agoI think you should speak up with the expectation that whistleblowers don't do well, but with the knowledge that science corrects only if scientists correct it. It's unlikely a single person can take down the culture of an industry, but one person can certainly start a movement. You're definitely well justified in feeling torn about this. I agree that leaving in silence is not the best idea, but I certainly wouldn't blame you if you did that. It's hard to take action.
