C'est assez génial dans l'ensemble

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed this scientist into a research-integrity sleuth Nature Careers

Lonni Besançon, a data-visualization researcher, spoke with Nature Careers about his work as a research-integrity sleuth that started during the COVID-19 pandemic and facing online abuse, threats and legal challenges because of it. #Academicsky 🧪

Haha true that! IG is definitely more th platform for this

Wow.

Research findings with p-values marginally less than 0.05 attract 60 to 110% higher Altmetric scores than those with p-values marginally above 0.05.

p-hacking means more popular attention!

p-hacking FTW!

Thanks :)

Merci c'est adorable :)

Merci!

@lonnibesancon.bsky.social 👍

Merci

Très beau portrait publié par Nature. Qu’il soit inspirant pour les futurs chercheurs mais aussi tous les citoyens 👍

...Du coup, en passant, ce serait bien de faire un MAX de pub à cet article.
Hein ?

Visiblement, le travail accompli par @lonnibesancon.bsky.social ne plaît pas aux désinformateurs.
Et l'article de Nature, qui met en avant ce travail, lui, il ne plaît PAS DU TOUT.
Et ça réagit fort.
Et salement.
Là, c'est notamment Martin Zizi qui s'acharne.

Merci à @natureportfolio.nature.com de remettre ce portrait en avant! Je vous invite à le partager si vous le voulez bien sur :).

Yep... I mean the fact that the things we find are so bad that the people we talk about are ready to do everything (harassment, intimidation, threats) to discourage us is CLEARLY the sign that we are all part of a mob right? /s

Transformed, I tell you!

SciGuardians claims stories like this prove the nefarious influence of the PubPeer mob. 🙃

I'm delighted to see my article on the repro crisis (doi.org/10.1145/3360...) featured in this press article!

"Lonni Besançon victime d'abus en ligne, de menaces et de contestations judiciaires en réponse à ses enquêtes sur l'intégrité de la recherche [kof - Raoult - kof] pendant la pandémie [toujours en cours] de COVID-19."

Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for these words

Lonni is spectacular and absolutely deserves this kind of positive attention!

#harassment #cyberbullying #scientificintegrity

"In posts on Twitter, Besançon’s harassers wrongly accused him of Nazism, sexual harassment and responsibility for thousands of deaths from COVID-19 vaccines. He has also received death threats for his science advocacy."

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed this scientist into a research-integrity sleuth Lonni Besançon has faced online abuse, threats and legal challenges. But he remains proud of his service to science and society.

Thank you @natureportfolio.nature.com‬ for sharing this article!

EXCELLENT READ.

Good work. Here’s one example:

“Besançon … pointed out major concerns with the hydroxychloroquine study’s design, …6 people treated (…26 participants) dropped out of the study and were disregarded in the analysis. Of those 6, 1 person died and 3 were moved into intensive care.”
