By Leonid Schneider, on research integrity, biomedical ethics and academic publishing
Schneider Shorts 18.06.2021: job openings (but not in Marseille!), old Soviet bioweapon lab leaks, eternal life with coffee, pregnant male rats, Chinese paper mill dramas, and how Wiley may have accidentally revealed the identities of Smut Clyde and Tiger BB8!
Schneider Shorts 11.06.2021: Mayo Clinic quietly passing on problematic professors, UK and Switzerland defining research misconduct, COVID-19 quackeries and how sperm and faeces can make you afraid.
Schneider Shorts 4.06.2021: Israeli Scientists jokes, the business model of Nature Medicine, Retraction Watch exposing a fraudster, life extension by naturopathy, and a dirty old man.
Schneider Shorts 28.05.2021: research misconduct investigations concluded and in process, real experts opining on Chinese paper mills, some more “bullshit”, environmental pollution in Russia, and Russian men obsessed with eternal life.
Schneider Shorts of 21 May 2021 with a whistleblower’s letter, some proud trachea transplanters, racism in sports and sperm, an Israeli surgeon’s first-time retraction, a Brazilian angel of death, Germans embracing Vitamin D, ivermectin and illegal Stöcker vaccines, Indians embracing cow manure, and mice sodomised with a toothbrush to invent a cure for COVID-19.
This week’s Schneider Shorts are about unaffected conclusions and destroyed raw data, the war on virus, vaccines and antivaxxers, and the virtues of having a long nose.
Schneider Shorts for 5 May 2021: retractions and resignations, geniuses saving the world from COVID-19, anti-aging scams and Didier Raoult’s legal attack on Elisabeth Bik.
Schneider Shorts 30 April 2021: a stupid Neanderthals study, Sputnik V meltdown, German anti-maskers in MDPI, and probably the most unethical COVID-19 clinical trial.
Schneider Shorts 23 April 2021: exciting COVID-19 clinical trials, blood tests for depression, photoshopped plant science, more tea with Professor Seeberger, chocolate diets, amazing cancer cures, and an Italian mystery troll obsessed with me.
