One more cascading disaster in world profoundly out of balance: "changes in prey availability, system-wide reductions in the abundance of seagrass and drifting macroalgae driven by shading from intense, extensive & long-lasting bloom of phytoplankton"

Scientists link a phytoplankton bloom to starving dolphins in Florida
In 2013, 8% of the bottlenose dolphins living in Florida's Indian River Lagoon died. Investigations have now revealed that the dolphins may have starved because key habitats for nutritious prey were d...

I reported this artwork to the editors of this Spandidos journal in September 2017, but it took the publisher MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS to retract this paper.
This is what I call a 5-second retraction.

Figure from a scientific paper, showing a DNA agarose gel (dark grey background) with white bands. I drew colored boxes around different areas showing bands and background areas that look identical. The whole photo looks photoshopped. I have also added a textbox with text in red saying "Unexpected similarities between areas within the same photo"

Grand entretien avec @mathieumolimard.bsky.social dans @lexpress.bsky.social. Il y dénonce notamment les dérives de l'université d'Aix-Marseille et de l'IHU. Il estime qu'elles sont la conséquence d'une "défaillance de l’Etat à tous les niveaux".

Mathieu Molimard : "Sur l’IHU de Marseille, il y a eu une défaillance de l’Etat à tous les niveaux"
Le pharmacologue au CHU de Bordeaux est l’une des figures de la lutte contre la désinformation médicale. C’est en partie grâce à lui que la première étude sur l’hydroxychloroquine a été retirée.

The "study was the cornerstone of a scandal that saw millions of people take hydroxychloroquine unnecessarily, endangering patients who experienced side effects including heart attacks."
A "fundamental principle of medicine—first, do no harm—has been sacrificed here, with dramatic consequences.”

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) don’t just harm ecosystems—they also alter the ocean’s carbon cycle! Our new analysis of 30 global datasets shows ocean CO₂ uptake drops by 8% during MHWs, with regional anomalies reaching up to 30%. 🌊
