Some $2.6 million will go to the data sleuth Sholto David himself. That is a tidy prize for an independent researcher. Yet it is worth rewarding sleuths like him, because the academic research model is riddled with perverse incentives that seem to encourage gibberish

Many of the works David scrutinized were published by the Dana Farber institute’s leading scientists—including president and CEO Laurie Glimcher, COO William Hahn and senior researchers @ireneghobrial.bsky.social and Kenneth Anderson

Typical settlements for research misconduct allegations have been in the $10 million range, although some have been smaller. In the Duke case, which settled for $112.5M, the whistleblower, former lab technician Joseph Thomas, received $33.8M @retractionwatch.com

@elisabethbik.bsky.social, perhaps the most prominent of image sleuths, said she broadly agreed with the claims David made in his blog. Based on her work, scientific journals have retracted 1,133 articles, corrected 1,017 others and printed 153 expressions of concern

If you ever wondered why the progress in cancer research is so slow despite billions being invested into basic research – Sholto David will show you why. Forget Asian papermills. Forget Sicilian universities
