“The professional bloggers are now trying to turn this into a question of research integrity which is deeply misleading, and claim that they are doing this not for financial gain. Judge for yourself!” – Thomas Südhof, Nobel Prize laureate
Schneider Shorts 12.01.2024 – a white victim of Indian fraud, whom Royal Society of Chemistry really trusts, with image analysis software expertly applied, a cold fusion breakthrough, retractions for killer doctors, and where US universities went wrong.
“Don’t let online controversies and aggressive blogs easily ruin
everything you’ve worked for to build your reputation […] Whether the image issue is innocent or intentional, the outcome is still the same. Bloggers will attack that publication with image issues, which will damage your reputation and may even lead to a costly investigation.
We are here to help you prevent this. I am Dr. Dror Kolodkin Gal, […] the founder of Proofig.”

Schneider Shorts 25.11.2022 – how money trumps basic medical ethics for elite London universities, a Belgian failed scientist doing business in Korea, retractions overdue, forgiven or unavoided, plus horse racing, an Israeli image integrity software doing what it should, and a cool research integrity workshop in Liverpool.
