As a @uniofwarwick academic, I'm disappointed that Finnish embassy @finlandinuk refused my visa for ECCB for presenting a paper @ECCBinfo and ECP (@ESP_Pathology) for an invited talk, citing insufficient justification despite full documents. This is blatant #discrimination.

@lpachter @nytimes Very interesting thread/blog and meticulous investigation! However, it seems journals devoted to scientific integrity do exist:

Did not check whether your work would fit within their scope but it might be worth taking a look
