Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...
In 1916 the BMJ published an article about the work done by James Shearer, an American physician working in the British Army as a sergeant (because he had no British qualification). He had described a "delineator" which was better than x rays for portraying gunshot wounds. This caused a sensation and a lot of interest — but on investigation the work was found to have been invented. The BMJ published a retraction, but Shearer was tried by court martial and sentenced to death by firing squad.

"The MAGA methodologists are unchecked: their hubris extends to believing that they know best about science and medicine."

The cult of MAGA methodology is out of control, and it’s causing harm, writes @kamranabbasi.bsky.social in this Editor's Choice
