Timothy Noël in C2W
It may sound tempting to make your results better than they are, but sooner or later you will fall through the cracks. "This issue not only causes enormous reputational damage, but can also seriously damage the future careers of PhD students and postdocs who work in such groups," said professor of flow chemistry Timothy Noël (UvA) in an opinion piece (in Dutch).
