Connecting the dots for essential change in research culture
More and more evidence is showing a positive research culture - supportive of difference and diversity - is essential for producing great science. But how best do we achieve that?

I wonder what the @royalsociety.org thinks about Sir Paul Nurse’s contributions to #ResearchCulture. Maybe it’s time to have another research culture conference at the Royal Society to address how scientific leaders must act to tackle bullying, discrimination, harassment and victimisation in science

🧵 Most recently, the @nobelprize.org winning scientist Sir Paul Nurse presided over poor research culture at the @crick.ac.uk. When challenged about it he denied having any knowledge of whistleblowing issues around bullying, discrimination, harassment & victimisation

Been reading about "Questionable Research Practices" - this paper made me ponder if these should be differentiated from "honest yet unacceptable" practices? And how we might improve "cultures of indifference and tolerance"...
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

#ResearchIntegrity #ResearchCulture
"In research workplaces, especially universities, some honest yet unacceptable research practices are superficially frowned on while others are tolerated or even encouraged as occupational realities. For example, while a student may be criticised by a supervisor for wrongly applying a fixed-effects model in a meta-analysis of complex health services interventions, other poor practices, such as lack of data sharing or failure to report negative findings,4 may be ignored due to perceived administrative demands on researchers. Finally, overhyping of results or salami slicing may even be incentivised and rewarded via the overesteeming volume of research output and impact for the researcher(s), team(s), department and organisation"

Without space for uncertainty, science risks becoming a scripted activity rather than a search for understanding.

Real inquiry requires freedom.

And slowly, the inner compass of curiosity is replaced by a strategic navigation of incentives.

In short: “career logic” means decisions are optimized for CV value rather than intellectual value—choosing safe topics, tailoring results, avoiding risks.
