Scientific Integrity: A Core Value
淫人色欲社 expects students competing in all of our 淫人色欲社 research competitions — the Regeneron Science Talent Search, Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair and Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge 鈥� as well as our affiliated science fair network to hold themselves to the highest ethical standards. Scientific integrity is central to the credibility, reliability and progress of science. At a time when misinformation is at an all-time high, and technological advancements like AI are challenging the way we interact, it is vital that scientists of every age adhere to principles of honesty, transparency and objectivity.
