this isn't a HN comment page, but it contains comments from co-authors, alzheimer's researchers, and most critically the lab lead (professor ashe) who overaw lesne's paper: https://www.alzforum.org/news/community-news/sylvain-lesne-who-found-av56-accused-image-manipulation https://www.alzforum.org/news/community-news/sylvain-lesne-w... professor ashe declined to comment for the science article but commented here. notably, she claims the journalist conflated two forms of Aβ and drew invalid conclusions. hat tip to @atombender for surfacing this page. tldr: many scientists believe the fraud is grave and inexcusable but the impact on research is greatly exaggerated. comments on twitter from other researchers seem to echo this sentiment.
