By Leonid Schneider, on research integrity, biomedical ethics and academic publishing
“I sensed I was not that meaningfully closer to documenting the creation of a simulated, behaving brain as I had been when I started making the film years ago” – Noah Hutton
Schneider Shorts 25.11.2022 – how money trumps basic medical ethics for elite London universities, a Belgian failed scientist doing business in Korea, retractions overdue, forgiven or unavoided, plus horse racing, an Israeli image integrity software doing what it should, and a cool research integrity workshop in Liverpool.
“here is my advice to Clarivate: better get lost. ” – Alexander Magazinov
“It was done for ‘esthetic’ reason ONLY.” – Prof Hagit Eldar-Finkelman
Schneider Shorts 18.11.2022 – a Spanish university hunts “Nazis”, Indian elites flock to a scamference, publishers embracing fraud, WHO embracing papermills, the fall of COPE, with a Dutch sexual harasser, Saudi and Egyptian data forgers, other science elites in a race to the bottom, and a diet advice to eat sand.
“For as I have often bemoaned in the past, not even the paper-forging industry is free from scruple- and principle-deficient players.” – Smut Clyde
The photographer Arne Müseler wanted me to pay him almost €6k for embedding his CC-BY Wikipedia picture of Chernobyl reactor. He failed.

Animal abuse and bad science go hand in hand. Meet professors Ute Moll, Jordi Muntané, Sam W Lee and others.
