<h3>Overview</h3>The third Festival of Open Research will celebrate the open research taking place here at the University of Southampton. This face-to-face event will introduce staff and postgraduate students to vital themes in open research, and is the perfect place to learn about the increasing focus placed on open practices across all disciplines. Dr Sholto David will present a keynote on ‘Identifying Errors and Manipulation in the Scientific Literature, with a Focus on Images’. <h3>Key-note speaker</h3>Recent retractions posted by researchers at top cancer centres in the US (Dana- Farber and Memorial Sloan Kettering) were prompted by blogging at For Better Science. Sholto will discuss his hobby of identifying and documenting errors in the scientific literature, and his quixotic efforts to resolve them.Sholto did his PhD at the Institute of Cell and Molecular Biology, Newcastle University, where he studied the structure and function of copper storage proteins. Since 2019 he has worked as an analytical scientist in industry, first at Oxford Biomedica, and then briefly for Simbec Orion, he is currently enjoying some time off work. In his spare time, he likes to write about errors in the scientific literature on PubPeer and as a guest blogger at For Better Science.Some recent media articles on this:<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/jan/29/sholto-david-biologist-finds-flaws-in-scientific-papers" title="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/jan/29/sholto-david-biologist-finds-flaws-in-scientific-papers" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Guardian</a><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00202-9" title="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00202-9" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nature</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/science/sholto-science-papers-misconduct.html" title="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/science/sholto-science-papers-misconduct.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The New York Times</a><a href="https://fortune.com/europe/2024/01/29/harvard-medical-school-affiliate-retracts-corrects-research-dana-farber-welsh-blogger/" title="https://fortune.com/europe/2024/01/29/harvard-medical-school-affiliate-retracts-corrects-research-dana-farber-welsh-blogger/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fortune</a> <h3>Location</h3>The festival takes place on Tuesday 16 April 2024 from 1000-1500 in Building 100, Room 4013. <h3>Draft programme</h3>9:30 – 10:00 Reception B100 - Level 410:00 – 10:10 Start program - introduction10:10 – 10:55 Keynote Sholto David10:55 – 11:15 Q &amp; A David Sholto11.15-11.35 Coffee Break11:35- 12.25 Case examples from the university –2*25 (20+5m Qs)12.25 – 13:10 Lunch and networking13.10 – 14:00 Case examples from the university – 2*25 (20+5m Qs)14:00 – 15:00 Debate and close with refreshments.
