Dr Gaia Brezzo - The price of deception, academia’s dark side

Dr Gaia Brezzo - The price of deception, academia’s dark side

Dr Gaia Brezzo narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Gaia examines the (arguably) widespread issue of academic fraud, from the shock of discovering misconduct in familiar research to the systemic pressures that contribute to such deceit. She addresses the severe implications for public health and scientific integrity, while also discussing the need for better quality control and accountability within the scientific community. The blog advocates for a change in academic incentives and proposes utilising AI as a tool for detecting fraud, urging for a culture that protects rather than penalises whistleblowers.
