Schneider Shorts 7.07.2023 – MDPI internal file leaked, editors attempting to rat out whistleblowers, scientists proud of IAAM awards, Nobelitis strikes again, with cloning fraudster’s new business, biotech’s new anti-aging drug, bad rector in Sicily, and finally, one honest researcher demanding retraction of his own paper.
Svante Pääbo, the father of paleogenomics, went funny before his Nobel Prize.

The journal Science and the anthropology community manage an amazing feat of celebrating bullying, harassment and bad science while urinating upon Douglas Adams’ grave.
Autistic Neanderthal minibrains operating crab robots via brain waves of newborn babies are to be launched into outer space for the purpose of interstellar colonization. No, I am not insane. Science Has Spoken.
