🤖 So #ChatGPT wrote the first sentence of this @ElsevierConnect article. Any other parts of the article too? How come none of the coauthors, Editor-in-Chief, reviewers, typesetters noticed? How can this happen with regular peer-review? pubpeer.com/publications/C…

For those keeping score at home, this is the fourth research misconduct scandal at Harvard in just one month. -Claudine Gay resigned Jan 2 after half of her work was found to contain plagiarized material. -A couple week later, Dana Farber, a Harvard teaching hospital, retracted or corrected 37 papers by its top executives. -Earlier this week, Harvard chief diversity officer Sherri Ann Charleston was accused of plagiarism and data fraud. -And now, a top Harvard neuroscientist has been accused of falsifying data in 21 different papers.
