Schneider Shorts 16.09.2022 – Targeted Harassment
Schneider Shorts 16.09.2022 – Israelis solve COVID-19 and lab-grown meat, Danes solve obesity and autism, a Californian Persian solves diabetes, with a harassed editor, an unretractable Schrödinger’s paper, Temple fraud on national news, how much Dr Oz loves puppies, more eugenics endorsement from EMBL, and a persecuted dirty old man in Marseille with a sperm bank.

Schneider Shorts 9.09.2022 – a Nobel man retracts four papers, professor XYZ retracts one, UCL being their usual greedy crooked racist self, with a cancer cure from Karolinska, an anti-aging solution from Brazil, the dangers of blue screens, a Romanian genius in England, and a dirty old man in Marseille cornered.
Temple of Stolen Pig Materials
“This is a fight between two distinguished academics and the University at which they have tenure over a Pig Model….”
Schneider Shorts 2.09.2022 – Criminal Science Publishing Gangs
Schneider Shorts 2.09.2022 – a papermill hero from Magdeburg arrives to save science, a blonde WomenInSTEM hero sues SUNY for discrimination, a dead OA hero resurrected as Frontiers editor, with retractions post-mortem and pre-sacking, amazing science on Alzheimer’s, tea drinking, TCM and smelly foreigners, and with unknown unknowns of your conflicts of interests.

A whistleblower tried to report fraud in Domenico Pratico’s papers via proper channels, and hit a wall everywhere.
Schneider Shorts 26.08.2022 – Fraudulent Entity
Schneider Shorts 26.08.2022 – why an entire special issue got retracted, why Science editor won’t retract papers for fraud alone, with other amazing heroes of research integrity, a Swedish rector’s vanity, lab-grown meat and fish, Frontiers being silly again, and finally, a GoFundMe for a certain whiskey lover.
Schneider Shorts 19.08.2022 – Fat-tailed Dunnarts
Schneider Shorts 19.08.2022 – a Colossal wanker goes Oz, a whistleblower sues MIT over agro-fraud, another sacked whistleblower to be deported, a grape industry shill with nutrition advice, an editor guides Aneurus through proper channels, papermills invade even preprints, with camel dung, a PhD in masturbation, and secret self-assembling graphene nano-antennas in mRNA vaccines!
