“If I’m not getting attacked…I would have felt I failed.” @charlespiller.bsky.social at #WCSJ25 on how his work exposing fraud in Alzheimer’s research was attacked and called misinformation and how he responded. “Ignoring scientific misconduct invites public distrust.”

Man looking at PowerPoint slide titled Program Highlights ..there are images on the side of the slide. The first bullet point says "AI-driven games with Black Myth creators"

China's bid for the 2029 World Conference of Science Journalists says their conference will include "AI-driven games" with the creators of Black Myth. Very weird to see this collision of my journalism beats here! #WCSJ25 🧪

On my way to the World Conference of Science Journalists 2025 in Pretoria! I’m thrilled that my proposed session has been accepted - and even more excited to be joined by such an amazing all-female panel on AI!
Who else is at the conference? Lets have a drink and chat!
