A CRO has been scamming academic and industry labs in the US with fraudulent data that has been published in Nature and other high impact journals. Leonid has written a great piece on my findings: forbetterscience.com/2025/09/22/i...

When I said that "People being shot is a price I am willing to pay for the freedom to shoot people", obviously I meant *other* people.

On that day, a rump Nazi government led by Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz was holed up in a naval academy gym on the Baltic coast, the Soviet flag had been raised over the Reichstag, Hitler had been dead for a week, and German forces controlled only the tiniest bit of ... Germany.

Retraction nr 18 for the #fraud Pau Loke Show. Amazingly
The university of Nottingham Malaysia offered him a full time full professorship contract. Why? Because they don't care! Fraud pays off, yet again! When will this stop? Retraction notice is clear: again manipulation of the review process!

Potentially major news! This retraction is the first of most likely many in the #papermill journal Environmental Pollution from @elsevierconnect.bsky.social. It was under the control of corrupt EIC J. Rinklebe from @uni-wuppertal.bsky.social

Granskingen av Filippo Berto ser ut til å være et godt stykke arbeid og uttalelsene fra dekan Olav Bolland er fornuftige: www.universitetsavisa.no/filippo-bert...
Konkluderer med vitenskapelig uredelighet
NTNU er ferdig med granskingen av Norges tidligere mestpubliserende forsker, Filippo Berto.

The front page of Oncotarget looks pretty @pubpeer.com-heavy.
Those cyan/greenish banners are the PubPeer plug-in (browser extension) at work, showing which papers have earned a comment or concern.
Here is it mostly plagiarism and image duplications.

A new BSky account that promises some big reveals about PubPeer users, but never delivers. Instead, it spews false accusations and conspiracy theories.

South #Korea has a huge problem with falsification of #biomedical data.

Thinking about the wasted funds and misinformation leading to dead ends and less progress and development:

Why this lack of responsiblity from universities, funding agency and government?

Cancer researcher Dr. Jasti Rao has entered the @retractionwatch.com Leaderboard. I have reported over 100 papers to the institutions, and posted them on @pubpeer.com using my pseudonym Lotus Azoricus.
