Scott Harris, a coauthor of the paper that introduced the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, is posting live videos on Facebook today from Blackville, SC where he collected samples that the Comet Research Group claims as evidence. He will show that it's railroad slag.

What did Ted Bunch know, and when did he know it? The senior author of the recently retracted Sodom airburst paper knowingly introduced railroad slag as evidence for the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis in the original paper (Firestone et al, 2007), according to his coauthor.

"There's very good evidence of railroad operations here on the old railroad bed. No evidence of an impact." A coauthor of the first YDIH paper (Firestone et al , 2007) reveals that his senior coauthors knew all along that their prime "evidence" was railroad slag. www.facebook.com/reel/1162558...

New COSIG guide!
Scientific articles often report data in tables. COSIG's latest guide covers methods to export these tables into a spreadsheet editor like Microsoft Excel!

Sabine Hazan conflates her case studies as proof that her hypotheses work. Even if those studies were flawless (ed: they’re not) they can only show correlation not causation: suffering from these conditions may lead to gut dysbiosis rather than the other way around.

But a new paper argues the claim rests on shaky foundations. https://scim.ag/48lckEh

There's a duplicated ß-actin band (green).
The author replies, "Because Smad3 is already the right loading control for p-Smad3, thus the last beta-actin is not necessary and we will contact the journal for removal."
Is this legit? 😕
