I am interested in scientific knowledge production, and more specifically in scientific error, error correction, and error prevention. Previously I studied the role scientific journals play in this, in the form of journal guidelines and varying forms of peer review procedures. Now, I work within a large collaborative project: NanoBubbles. In NanoBubbles we use three contested issues in the nanobiology to study scientific error, error correction, overpromising, and trust.
