Harvard calls for more than 30 retractions of cardiac stem cell research
- slivym 8y agoCan we expect an incredibly long and petty diatribe from the accused author about how it was really all a meta-study to expose the 'grievance' cell research journals?
- wegs2 8y agoNice! MIT and a lot of the other elites would cover up. I'll be interested to see if the professor keeps their job. I suspect so. A little fraud is rarely met with more than a wrist slap at the elite schools.
- todd8 8y agoI don't have an informed opinion here (on how other elite universities would handle such an event). Do you have a citation? I did find an MIT retraction and not a cover up in the recent past though. See [1].
