NPOF, again and again: “Philipp Jungebluth and Paolo Macchiarini guilty of research misconduct” Lancet: “Paolo Macchiarini is not guilty of scientific misconduct”
Schneider Shorts 3.03.2023 – Lab leak theory of COVID-19 escapes peer review, sadist professor in Germany (almost) exposed, various takes on the usefulness of academic friendship, with a stem cell breakthrough, Lancet and COPE bashed, and finally, why single men smell so nice.
Schneider Shorts 17.02.2023 – Lancet’s concern for murderous surgeon, a world-renowned innovator comes to Czechia, multi-hazard approach to engineering publishing, chronic lymericks at MDPI, fake Georgians at Hindawi, with cinnamon magic from Iran, a pharma giant with a new job, and finally, Nobel facials for you to buy (if you can afford them).
Schneider Shorts 30.09.2022 – with an undesired fourth patient in NEJM, superconductive fraud in Nature, killer Lancet, heroic Wiley, dead rabbits of London, Aduhelm 2.0, micronanorobots, coffee vs death, and a toxic antivaxxer awarded by toxic elites.
A guest post by the science writer Martin Endara-Coll.
Paolo Macchiarini affair: I reproduce the letter Patricia Murray, Raphael Levy, Peter Wilmshurst and myself published in The BMJ on 2 March 2022. I also publish Wilmshurst’s appeal to the UCL leadership.
Schneider Shorts 29.10.2021 – fluvoxamine officially a COVID-19 game-changer, lab leak still just a conspiracy theory, Retraction Watchdogs catch a cheating student, papermill customers get sanctioned, and lawsuits everywhere: Sabatini sues Whitehead, Macchiarini trial begins in Sweden, Athira Pharma separates from cheating CEO while facing investor lawsuits, and Raoult finally facing criminal charges (theoretically).
Данные клинических испытаний Спутник V кажутся такими же достоверными, как и результаты выборов Путина.
Sputnik V clinical trial data seems as trustworthy as Putin’s election results.
Schneider Shorts 2.07.2021: fraudulent COVID-19 quackery gets learned society approval, China colonizes Mars, CNRS explains the difference between plagiarism and “unacknowledged borrowings”, with Botox against depression from Germany, Nasal Telomere Extension from Harvard and Eugenics Superhero Vaccines from Stanford, and Smut Clyde slandering Ukrainians behind my back.
