- Paper published on 06 August 2025 in Nature. Day after publication, I asked about a western blot. Author misunderstands my question, says it will take "a couple of weeks" to share the experimental repeats promised in the manuscript. Why is that data not close to hand?!
- Harvard researchers publishing in Nature, some encouragement for those suffering imposter syndrome.
- Here's something that surprised even me... As the scandal of photoshopped images in neuroscience research continues to drag on, even in 2024 and 2025 there are name brand laboratories still publishing stuff like this! [A thread...]
- Recent MDPI paper including diagram of a bacterial cell with a mitochondrion 🤦♀️ The authors propose a mechanism for the toxicity of silver nanoparticles: "Ag+ ions in AgNPs bombard the bacterial mitochondria’s electron transport chain, resulting in cell death".
- Time Magazine included me in their #TIME100NEXT list for my contribution to research integrity. By the way I AM LOOKING FOR A JOB! I have experience in analytical science, molecular biology, systematic literature reviews, coding in python. Email in bio! time.com/7023599/sholto…
- I was included on the #TIME100HEALTH list of 100 individuals who most influenced global health this year. time.com/6968406/sholto…
- Replying to @MattNachtrabMatt you keep posting this nonsense but it never actually comes with examples of Elizabeth making mistakes.
- Springer Nature and others have published dozens of papers by Saudi and Egyptian researchers with entirely fabricated comet assay images. I think the blog should be informative and I will put a link in the first comment:
- Science retracts a paper by Dana-Farber CEO Laurie Glimcher. Dana-Farber claim to have started an investigation in 2021. The PubPeer thread on this paper has been active since 2014. The timeline doesn't seem very flattering... statnews.com/2024/04/18/dan…
- Nature Medicine recently corrected a figure after my PubPeer comment and email. The "corrected figure" contains a different version of the same error. Current APC $12290.00. pubpeer.com/publications/3…
- Five different papers using the same image of nanoparticles. Are they selenium, aluminium, or silicon based nanoparticles? Who supplied them? No response on PubPeer so far... Usual suspects: MDPI, Frontiers, Scientific Reports pubpeer.com/publications/8…
- An assistant editor at Scientific Reports reaches out to me for further explanation. Are they living under a rock?
