After 6 months, 25,000+ submissions from 82 countries, and 1,700+ participants, we're thrilled to announce the end of the Scientific Image Forgery Detection Prediction competition on Kaggle.
We're also preparing a panel on scientific integrity. If you have suggestions for potential panelists or ideas for funding opportunities to support their participation, I would greatly appreciate your input. Do you want to showcase your scientific integrity company?
As we quickly approach the date, I’m delighted to share that I will be attending the 9th World Conference on Research Integrity (WCRI 2026) in Vancouver, Canada, on May 4 as one of the plenary speakers!
It will be an honor to join Drs. Renee Hoch and Stefan Stender to discuss paper mills and how AI might have been enabling their operations.
If you are in Vancouver and would like to grab a coffee, meet, and chat, I would love to join you.
Please let me know!

I taught Biometrics again (4th time) last semester.
As usual, I got amazing invited lecturers (@adam_m_czajka and @DinkoBacic, I'm looking at you) and had a ton of fun with the students.
This time, one of them was able to spoof a MacBook...
