By Leonid Schneider, on research integrity, biomedical ethics and academic publishing
Kiichi Hirota has been found guilty of research fraud in Japan. He was previously involved in Gregg Semenza’s Nobel Prize discovery of HIF gene. Semenza has 15 retractions, and the work of his Nobel co-recipients isn’t entirely kosher either.
Schneider Shorts 11.07.2025 – an insulted, slandered and harassed Italian man in Zurich, a Saudi-sponsored Belgian man in Lausanne, with more Swiss (and British) correctness, more Nobel retractions, and finally, with a moa and mammoth safari on Mars.
Schneider Shorts 1.10.2021 – with antivaxxers big and small, Brazilian killers, Dutch research integrity, Russian science kakistocracy, the wonders of peer review, how COVID-19 miracle cures work, and a Twitter scandal of academic fraud which was too good to be true.
“Even after people have been telling you for, you know, 20 years or more that it’s going to happen, no one expects it.” -Gregg Semenza, Nobel Prize winner 2019
