Scientific research should prioritize efforts to disprove one's own hypothesis rather than seeking to confirm it.

“in science courage isn't about proving yourself right it's in your efforts to prove yourself wrong it's your efforts at a very early stage to try and refute your own hypothesis so a hypothesis which is nothing more than a guess so you start off with a guess and then you try and prove it wrong”

The institutional response to suspected scientific misconduct, specifically by universities and the Office of Research Integrity, is inadequate and fails to protect public trust.

“To me, this is exactly the wrong approach because you're entrusting the organization that has the most to lose and the least to gain from a robust, complete, and publicly accessible examination of possible misconduct to do that examination.”
