“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
“It was done for ‘esthetic’ reason ONLY.” – Prof Hagit Eldar-Finkelman
“not everyone in the research community accepts that the problem requires such attention; some believe it is overblown.” -Jeffrey Flier, emeritus dean of Harvard Medical School
“Wrong again Do you have a problem?” – Bob Bloch
“If in any case we consider that the problems with the images really affected the validity of the results, we ourselves would ask the corresponding journal to retract the article.” – Prof Javier González-Gallego

Charcoal as COVID-19 therapy? It may sound silly, but there is solid history of data fudging behind it, wandering western blots included!
