Smut Clyde follows the dark path of Traditional Chinese Medicine again. What will he find there? As usual, all the big publishers peddling TCM fraud, that’s what.
COVID-19 pandemic is a good occasion to reassess our attitude to research fraud. Smut Clyde will show you some nanotechnologists who specialise on fabricating vaccine research data in Photoshop.
Smut Clyde celebrates here a highly successful US cancer research lab at University of Rochester. Its head is Chawnshang “Chainsaw” Chang, and his most productive scientist is Soo “Not” Ok Lee.
Smut Clyde investigates two more Chinese paper mills. One teamed up with an obscure Italian publisher, the other offers access to respectable society journals. How much of published and allegedly peer reviewed science is real?

Smut Clyde studies two Chinese research groups to understand how TCM can be used to create modern Photoshop art.
