"Elisabeth Bik is a Dutch microbiologist who has a talent for identifying duplicated patterns. She turned her attention to the question of scientific integrity more than a decade ago, and has since been responsible for the retraction of more than a thousand papers that have blatant image manipulation in them. We talk to her about the work of image sleuthing, the nature of science that induces people to fake data, the impact of rotten data filling low-tier journals, and how questionable practices reach all the way to the top."
