Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.

Section from retraction notice dated 23 December 2025.

"On 24 January 2025, we were notified by the research integrity officer of the University of Minnesota that an investigation into concerns about image manipulation in Fig. 1G had been completed. The investigation found that the concerns raised were valid and that the figure as published did not accurately reflect the research record. To correct the literature, the University of Minnesota recommended that the publication be retracted. In light of this recommendation and given our loss of confidence in the paper, Science Signaling is retracting the paper in full."

Can the editor of Science Signaling explain why it took 11 months to retract a paper by the LesnΓ© group after being requested to do so by the authors' institutional research integrity officer, who confirmed published figure did not represent research record. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

WHO doesn't apply any standards even to biomedicine. They encourage fraud, so why shouldn't homeopathy, TCM and Ayurveda work also?

This article co-authored by German soil science superstar Rinklebe was just retracted. The editors somehow didn't believe 6410 g/kg was a reliable datapoint:
"...in Table S1 the total potassium content (TK) = 6410 g Β± 13.2 g kg-1, meaning that one kg of soil contained about seven kg of potassium."

Third retraction for #papermill #fraud JΓΆrg Rinklebe from @uni-wuppertal.bsky.social! This time he managed to defy the laws of physics and measure 6.4 kg of K in 1 kg of soil! Of course the whole paper was fake! Will @uni-wuppertal.bsky.social finally act?

When BMC published this the first days of 2025 we should have known how the year will turn out: Namini et al. 2025 (DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-06048-z) in 'Journal of Translational Medicine'. This is one of 120 papers from this journal that I flagged in the last 4 weeks... pubpeer.com/publications...

This AI generated piece of crap published only roughly 3 weeks ago has already been retracted! As long as enough media pays attention to it, retractions can go fast.... Go figure! A lot still to be retracted by @springernature.com, for sure in Scientific Reports

The mask, priced at 3000 NOK, has turned out to be inferior to a 33-NOK dust mask bought at a hardware store. The masks were supposed to have been tested, but the manufacturer refuses to show the results of these tests.

Anbefalte masker til 100 millioner: Testet den ikke selv i gassbu – Det var et spΓΈrsmΓ₯l om ressurser, sier forskningslederen som anbefalte maskene.

A major scandal is unfolding in #Norway. The government was advised to purchase protective #masks for 100 million NOK from the Norwegian company #Watchbird. They were intended for protection against tear gas and similar threats for the #Ukrainian military.

The link between the gut #microbiome and autism is not backed by science, researchers say.
