i don't think a visit by me quite justifies a plaque, i am not marie curie

I had the idea of adding a section of 'Referee suggested references' to papers

My theory that at the basic level it has to do with how much real progress there is in a field vs fluff and hype. If you got you the top through fluff, hype (and sometimes fraud that they lead to) you are also likely not nice.

Wrong link here is the paper showing how to get manfra jumps at zero field arxiv.org/abs/2504.05221
Apparent fractional charge signatures in PbTe quantum dots due to capacitively coupled charge trap dynamics
We report the observation of fractional shifts in the experimental stability diagrams of PbTe nanowire quantum dots. Although this behavior may appear to suggest fractional charge transport, akin to t...

I guess since there is this prize awarded I will write another report but here is one and there is stuff in graphene in the integer quantum Hall www.arxiv.org/abs/2509.03706
I will reproduce his exact data though he does not share samples neither

Double quantum dots with quenched charging energy in PbTe nanowires
We investigate double quantum dots defined by electrostatic gating in semiconductor PbTe nanowire devices. We perform transport measurements to obtain charge stability diagrams distinguished by neglig...

Manfra does not share his data and his results can be reproduced outside of fractional quantum Hall effect

don't know about Weizmann, but here Professor Emeritus is technically a promotion. Anyways, congratulations!

Like for instance, would the next Pruitt be required to share their data? On the contrary, they will be forbidden from doing so:
""For privacy and data security purposes, Research Records shall be available only to those who need such access and to the minimum amount necessary"
