Collectively, we contribute to building the knowledge tower by using bricks and mortar that should be strong, solid, and long lasting. A brick with defects may lead this tower, or a part there of, to collapse. When that happens, the community suffers, laying waste countless dedicated hours of work, especially by students and postdoctoral scholars. This is the reason why the integrity of science is critically important.
