1 of 2: I haven't tweeted since June 1, 2018. My work at the Poynter Center 25-year career at the Indiana University. IU decided the Poynter Center was too expensive, so the Poynter Center took over (https://t.co/nGQFKGlrCT). The stress of the last few years messed up my brain.

Is a human with a transplanted pig's heart is still a human? Or a human's arms and legs are all manufactured, is that human only ~45% human? Do my eyeglasses make me less than human? Where's the line between science and balderdash?

Title: "Opinion: We Must Demand Evidence of Peer Review"

Wow! Harvard Medical School, Weill Cornell Medical College, NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and University of California-San Francisco fail to "reproduce some of the experiments" and retract the published paper. https://t.co/oaYkIC8tfA
