@empiricallygood @Thatsregrettab1 We have suspicions who might be behind this.

Vandaag verscheen er een paper waarin gekeken is naar de oversterfte in NL tijdens de Covid-19 pandemie en welke rol de vaccinaties daarin speelden. In de studie hebben ze gekeken naar gegevens van vrijwel alle Nederlanders van 63 jaar en ouder gedurende 2020 en 2021

In fact 95% of papers listing the Abcam antibody ab51243 have used it incorrectly. Here's the link to the blog for my complete analysis: https://t.co/agtHOeRMcL

@MicrobiomDigest Thank you for joining us at #ASMS2026! Your closing lecture was a memorable way to wrap up an incredible week of science, discussion, and discovery. We're so glad you enjoyed your time in San Diego!

@Kevin_McKernan @johnarnold CSO??? You are giving me way too much credit 🤣

[Cheshire @Thatsregrettab1]

Honored to be included on this SciGuardians list.

[Cheshire @Thatsregrettab1]

1st None of these people work for journals who retracted your papers.

2nd You can’t call those articles “research.” One retraction statement literally read: “The article does not meet the standards of editorial or scientific soundness.”

3rd Misfits? Fair enough 🍻

@janiesaysyay @weldeiry The 'case study' is not from a Californian woman, but a single BALB/c mouse: doi: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1158124

I am sending an open letter to Thermo Fisher. Their response to my response to their manipulated western blot is bullying and petty. Yes, this western blot really is manipulated, it is unfair on me to say otherwise. I don't make those accusations lightly. #ThermoFishy

@EI_LSM Absolutely!

[Elisabeth Bik @MicrobiomDigest]

@BDubati @fake_journals @RetractionWatch @deevybee Why? I do not particularly enjoy being tagged unless someone wants to ask me something.

[Elisabeth Bik @MicrobiomDigest]

Thank you, @asmsnews, for inviting me to give the closing lecture in San Diego. So many great questions and discussions afterward. And the dinner party on the USS Midway deck was fantastic.
You guys are a lovely bunch!

@LazarusLong13 @chambersfw1 @PeterHotez Dr. W. El-Deiry has blocked me.

The child in "The Emperor's New Clothes" didn't destroy the Emperor's reputation.

The invisible clothes did that.

Pointing out problems isn't what creates them.

@Jordisoeters @MarjanRintel Gefeliciteerd!

@MuruLago @NonwayneWayne One would hope that journals from the same publisher would talk to each other!
The authors and the journal deserve a big fat beautiful PubPeer post. Hope you will write one!

In January, I reviewed a Review for a crappy MDPI journal.

It was 100% AI, missing citations, etc. I sent a massive report, and the authors withdrew it.

Today, I see it published without a single change in another even crappier MDPI journal.
