This month Ivan Oransky joins us to talk about his work as a journalist and advocate for monitoring scientific misconduct.

Ivan confesses about his beginnings as a young playwright of the immune system
He discusses how and why he left medicine to become a journalist
Ivan’s mentors encouraged him to develop by getting experience as a journalist and editor
Ivan reflects on how his training as a physician was helpful and allowed people to trust him
He stresses how important it is to read in order to develop story-writing skills
Ivan explains that curiosity and attention can help to hunt for good stories
He thinks the trend to ‘weaponization’ is central to what’s wrong in science and science communication today
He suggests that going ‘upstream’ might help to explain the methodology and not just the results of science
Ivan describes the origins of Retraction Watch and looking for the stories behind the retractions
He also insists that we need to look upstream to understand what leads to the fraud (or sloppiness) behind the retractions
Finally, learning to say NO is an important skill to keeping focused
