Edinburgh saves Bird men from clutches of Bulgarian Jezebel
Irina Stancheva was investigated in Edinburgh for fraud at least twice, in 2009 and 2017, yet retraction and correction decisions were not implemented. Apparently to protect the reputation of Nobel Prize candidate Sir Adrian Bird and his male mentees, primarily Richard Meehan. One wonders: how much of Bird research in past two decades was actually fabricated by Stancheva?
Frederique Vidal, Minister for Research and gel band duplication
Frédérique Vidal has been professor for molecular genetics and rector of the University of Nice before she became the currently serving cabinet Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation in France. The French government keeps responding with threats of legal action to earlier evidence of data irregularities in her published research, this is why I publish more such evidence here.
Catherine Jessus case: journals hide behind Sorbonne & COPE to avoid retractions
Jaw-dropping corrections issued for the French martyr saint of research integrity, Catherine Jessus, head of biology branch at the French CNRS. All these works of science contained such appalling Photoshop manipulations that the academic publisher had to bend over backwards and hide behind COPE guidelines to invent a reason against retractions.
Edinburgh breaks silence to announce Stancheva retractions
In October 2017, I brought an exclusive story of a mysterious sacking at the University of Edinburgh. The molecular biologistContinue Reading
Jessus critics defiant, reactionary cock-up and Chicken of Dishonour Legion
As Le Monde brought into public light the Catherine Jessus affair with its whitewashed data manipulation and the growing academic protest, a counter-revolution put its foot in. A signature list in the worst Stalinist tradition was published, organised by the very elite of French academia (mostly members of Academie de Sciences), and signed by hundreds, mostly professors and CNRS group leaders, including a former CNRS president. Their demands, endorsed in a secret press release by current CNRS president and Sorbonne University president: punishment for 10 anonymous authors of the Jessus counter-report and for a Le Monde journalist.
French Biologists: CNRS-Sorbonne investigators “totally incompetent”, data manipulations in Jessus papers “intentionally fraudulent forgeries”
Sorbonne University in Paris, where the CNRS chief biologist Catherine Jessus, holds a professorship, delivered an outrageous whitewashing report about her manipulations. Now, an Open Letter has been published by around 10 unnamed French biologists. It plucks apart the Sorbonne report of Jessus papers.

After misconduct investigation, Irina Stancheva left Edinburgh, in secret
A scientist was “dismissed” by the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, UK. It was the cell biologist Irina Stancheva who specialises on the epigenetics and regulatory methylation of DNA. Her institutional website was deleted just hours after I sent my email inquiries to her former faculty colleagues.
