Rossella e la scienza: dalla parte delle ragazze
Sto guardando lo straordinario programma della festa dei 20 anni di Radio3 Scienza, venerdì 20 gennaio.

Parteciperà anche Daniela Mapelli, neuropsicologa 🧠 e rettrice dell'Università di Padova!

Ci sono anche iniziative per le scuole https://raiplaysound.it/articoli/2023/01/Rossella-e-la-scienza-dalla-parte-delle-ragazze-48980094-c555-4dd5-8fd8-0c8d8f142224.html?fbclid=IwAR0snpYGLnfSsVRBptq5UXo-fsmqosocIHiMxkfj6MiGvstFwyJg_wpisZQ

La prima volta che partecipai a una puntata fu nell'ottobre del 2016: Rossella Panarese avevava letto un post del blog che avevo scritto contrastando le intemperanze di allora di Od1freddi e mi contattò Matteo De Giuli, lasciandomi nello stupore, fino alla puntata condotta da Pietro Greco. Sono seguite altre puntate e scambi con Roberta Fulci, Elisabetta Tola e Marco Motta. Insomma, ci sono pezzetti di vite di tante persone ascoltate e interconnesse da questa resistente e curiosa ventenne! ❤️

"Kroemer received an award in Italy some years ago and that caused a scandal. He doesn’t seem to feature in news (...) or be invited to conferences anymore" scrive Leonid Schneider

né trasparenza, né integrità e non porta neppure bene il Premio Lombardia!

Quando un'università occulta il nome di un suo professore accusato di violenza sessuale da un programma di studi, sta deliberatamente proteggendo un perpetratore e mettendo a rischio altre studentesse.
Con disprezzo di codici di condotta e trasparenza: il cattivo esempio, difficile anche solo da leggere, dell'Università californiana UC Davis.

"... a high school student working in UC Davis Chemistry professor Ting Guo’s lab in 2010 alleged in a police report filed in 2018 that she was sexually assaulted by him multiple times. In 2020, she filed a lawsuit against Professor Guo and The Board of Regents of the University of California, Davis. UC Davis continued to allow Professor Guo access to high school students via the Youth Scholars Program even after finding out about the serious allegations against him. Recently, websites of the Youth Scholars Program have been altered or deleted to remove any evidence showing that Professor Guo was ever a mentor in the program.

How many more such cases are there that have not see the light of day because evidence was more effectively tampered with? How many universities are wiping their records to hide evidence of their negligence in protecting students? How many more women must suffer? Will we ever see the end?"

Sara e Yusra Mardini, le protagoniste di The Swimmers:

“We tried to cross, we tried to survive. We just wanted to live in peace again after we crossed"

Sara Mardini: “It has been ongoing for 4 years. I am banned from Greece so I have to wait for permission to be granted to return. If they allow me to testify then I will go to court on the 10th of January.” Human Rights Watch has categorically refuted the charges, supporting her innocence by releasing a statement saying that “The slipshod investigation and absurd charges, including espionage, against people engaged in lifesaving work, reek of politically motivated prosecution.” Amnesty International has called them “unfair and baseless."

non c'è da essere scienziati/e per essere whistleblower e intercettare frodi ma di certo, allo stato attuale di fabbricazione di dati e arroccamento con silenziamento da parte di chi dirige riviste scientifiche, si rischia di essere portati/e in tribunale:
una raccolta di esempi molto recenti nell'articolo di Alexander Trevelyan

"What has risen to the fore over the last few years in these fields is not only a replication crisis, but also a fabrication crisis. It’s a crisis that peer review—or editorial review, for that matter—currently appears utterly incapable of surmounting."

"The secrecy and deference by journal editors cultivates a culture of hesitation and silence; why risk upsetting the nasty investors and putting yourself at risk of lawsuit when there’s no discernible evidence that anything will come of it?"
