Scientific Fraud
Timothy Birdnow
Common Sense and Wonder chronicles a story of scientific fraud.
From the article:
See how government money corrupts science; the National Institute of Health (NIH) bankrolled these guys and they were happy to falsify data and results to keep the gravy train rolling. I fear this is happening all over the world these days as "scientists" who are more medicine-show barkers tailor their results to make the authorities happy.
We see this in global warming. we see this in the Coronavirus issue. We've seen this in psychology and sociology for a long time.
Now we're reaching the point where basic research is being corrupted. This will lead to an inevitable decline in scientific advancement.
This is how a dark age is born.
Common Sense and Wonder chronicles a story of scientific fraud.
From the article:
Arizona State University is investigating two former faculty members suspected of falsifying data in several of their papers.
The inquiry centers on Antonella Caccamo and Salvatore Oddo, who recently lost their 2016 article in Molecular Psychiatry, a Nature journal, titled "p62 improves AD-like pathology by increasing autophagy.â€
Caccamo once held a research appointment in the ASU-Banner Neurodegenerative Disease Research Center. Oddo, also worked in the center, where he was an associate professor.
While at ASU — including Banner Health — Odd received more than $11 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and was co-PI on grant from the National Science Foundation worth more than $220,000. Caccamo received one grant from NIH, in 2018, totaling roughly $543,000.
