Dear colleagues,

This is an announcement for a  Workshop: Ethics in Image Analysis

Scientific fraud has become a serious concern in life sciences, as in
all segments of science. Microscopic image presentation is a serious
and, unfortunately, common source of fraud in life science publications.
As image editing is commonplace during data analysis and presentation,
even unwanted changes quickly lead to irregular and often illegal
figures. So, image editing and presentation are not always easy. This
workshop will provide all scientists with the proper tools and knowledge
to avoid common pitfalls, to spot imaging fraud, and to prepare sound
images to prevent fraud. This workshop is dedicated to all researchers
publishing microscopic image data who wish to do so in a lawful manner
and who wish to learn about common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

The workshop includes presentations from experts in the field, facility
heads, the DFG Programme Director “Scientific Instrumentation and
Information Technology” and from a journal editor / representative, as
well as Q & A and multiple hands-on sessions.
