“The Ethics Commission of the University of Ferrara, in
response to the request for opinion presented by Prof. Giorgio Zauli
(registered on 1 June 2018, Repertory no. 60/2018 – Prot.
n. 66968) does not detect any violations of the University Code of Ethics.”
Schneider Shorts 30.06.2023 – Nobelists in need of defence, superconductive fraud vidicated, new fraudsters at MD Anderson in Texas discovered, Alzheimer fraudster gets his own center, an American in Italian fraud gang, with other fraudsters in Italy and their retractions, an MDPI’s expert, and finally, with India’s greatest scholar and his manpower.
“I am Jorge de Burgos. I believe research should pause in searching for the progress of knowledge. Right now, we don’t need more papers, we rather need more knowledge by going through a continuous and sublime recapitulation to figure out what is true and what is fake” – Aneurus Inconstans
Schneider Shorts 8.07.2022 – why Schneider can never be a proper investigative journo like certain others, why white doctors are protected in UK, plus rascists in space, Ferrara bully still free from retractions, a hangover pill, various papermills, and a Wake Forest regmed genius taking the piss.
Schneider Shorts 4.02.2022 – great men of science under attack wherever one looks, British doctors had fun with coronavirus, plus saving the climate with Arctic Elephants, saving billionaires from old age, and why saving a violent gormless crook is an ungrateful task.
Giorgio Zauli’s rectorship term ends. Will research fraud, media harassment and whistleblower persecution be a thing of the past at the University of Ferrara? Ma dai, basta cazzate.
David Sabatini, remember that story? Well, it seems the conclusions were not affected. I take an ill-informed look at the mTOR signalling research field, to understand how photoshopped data gets to be independently verified by other labs.
University of Ferrara rejected a journalist’s FOI request about the investigation of its own Rector. The arguments: the media is biased and drives a slander campaign against Giorgio Zauli, and in any case, his research can only be evaluated in a “Science Court” by peer review.
Cancer researcher Giorgio Zauli publicly declared himself exonerated because he simply forbids his University of Ferrara to publish the investigative report. The ultra-right connected rector used the occasion to equal his critics to Nazis and to announce defamation lawsuits.
On 27 December 2018, I received an email from the Italian Office for Protection of Personal Data. A certain Professor Giorgio Zauli has reported me for publishing an official letter his University of Ferrara sent to me on his behalf.
