Some shit just recently happened with Alzheimer's research where the researchers were fudging pictures and results to get what the outcome wanted, and not what was actually true. Fucking capitalism, what're ya gonna do.

why the downvotes? this is actually a thing that happened. I don't know if capitalism is to blame or just fame

Sure, have fun with your Lysenkoism

There's a series of (pretty long) youtube videos that go into a lot of detail about the whole affair: part 1, part 2, part 3

Researchers under communism or socialism aren't biased and aren't pressured to produce results? Okay.

This guy is the Jon Bois of science YouTube. Absolutely great content. I just got done with his latest video a few minutes ago - it’s about another scientific fraud.

You're very intelligent.

"The Schön affair has besmirched the peer review process in physics as never before. Why didn't the peer review system catch the discrepancies in his work? A referee in a new field doesn't want to "be the bad guy on the block," says Dutch physicist Teun Klapwijk, so he generally gives the author the benefit of the doubt. But physicists did become irritated after a while, says Klapwijk, "that Schön's flurry of papers continued without increased detail, and with the same sloppiness and inconsistencies."

Some critics hold the journals responsible. The editors of Science and Nature have stoutly defended their review process in interviews with the London Times Higher Education Supplement. Karl Ziemelis, one of Nature's physical science editors, complained of scapegoating, while Donald Kennedy, who edits Science, asserted that "There is little journals can do about detecting scientific misconduct."

 

looks like peer review for experimental physics is a joke

I just watched it too! What a wild ride.

He totally is ripping Jon Bois’ style and it’s fantastic. I love watching someone who clearly is so incredibly inspired by one other person that it just drips with reference. In his latest video he even mentions scorigami lol

TIL about Lysenkoism. Thanks for the new word/concept.
