Sébastien Thibault / Nature Magazine / Predatory conferences

Sébastien Thibault recently collaborated with the scientific journal Nature for illustrating a project about predatory conferences. Each year, researchers are being lured into attending fake and low-quality conferences, spending hard-won grant funding (or even dipping into their own pockets) on travel and registration. The article demonstrates how to spot them and what science needs to do to better protect researchers against dud conferences.
