The first story is up now on @NewsfromScience: It’s a look at the work of @katestarbird and her team at @uwcip, who study rumors at the University of Washington, specifically rumors around the US elections. science.org/content/articl…

A biophysics prize from Tel Aviv University bears the Sackler family’s name despite their role in the opioid epidemic. scim.ag/7eH

Several works by Harvard honesty researcher Francesca Gino - who is already under fire for suspected data manipulation - appear to contain passages plagiarised from books, blogs, papers & student theses. Another great investigation from @cathleenogrady science.org/content/articl…

Brains usually decompose shortly after death—but not always. A new study catalogs thousands of preserved brains and suggests there may be a mystery mechanism keeping them whole for millennia. My interview with author @MortonHayward in @NewsfromScience: science.org/content/articl…

Didier Raoult and his institute found fame during the pandemic. Then, a group of dogged critics exposed major ethical failings. #LongReads scim.ag/68q

My latest investigation for @newsfromscience: Star neuroscientist Berislav Zlokovic of @KECKSchool_USC implicated in possible misconduct involving apparent data doctoring going back 25+ years. Includes science behind a stroke drug in major human trials 1/5 science.org/content/articl…

The United Kingdom’s national funding agency has suspended operations of its newly formed diversity advisory panel following panel members’ social media posts on the Israel-Hamas conflict. scim.ag/4Em

An Italian newspaper has found duplicated images in eight cancer papers co-authored by the country’s minister of health, Orazio Schillaci @mcatanzaro reports @ScienceMagazine science.org/content/articl…

A fierce debate has taken over taxonomy. It's about offensive names. There's no right or wrong, but there are many, many opinions. What to do? Lots of good insight from @paleobae, @anjgoswami, @SandyKnapp, and others in my new story for @NewsfromScience. science.org/content/articl…

This story of scientists in covid-19 times is the result of an investigation that took me five months, tens of interviews and reading piles of documents. Read on and get (disturbingly) surprised: science.org/content/articl… @science_news

The deer in Dublin’s Phoenix Park are the first in Europe known to have been infected with the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Great write-up from @MollyRains5 science.org/content/articl…

These scientists spoke at webinars on COVID-19 to share their expertise - then the company behind the conferences started pursuing them for payment of thousands of euros in fees. Truly wild story from @mcatanzaro science.org/content/articl…

I am privileged that BM, a #chemistry PhD student who was intentionally poisoned with thallium, trusted me to tell his story. For over a decade, he has fought to regain the abilities he had before the poisoning. The story just published in @cenmag 1/5 cen.acs.org/safety/lab-saf…
