I skew towards keeping mistakes in the scientific literature because identifying & correcting mistakes is part of healthy scientific discourse, but a core finding that rests on clearly wrong data (papers that had references, but were logged as not having references) feels retraction-worthy.

The connectome fast and slow: a family of connectome streams rather than a single dynamic connectome. Yet this plurality is not random: distinct streams obey shared spatial and temporal regularities. Our new @pnas.org paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #Neuroscience #Connectome #BrainDynamics
Different whole-brain connectivity patterns are color-coded from blue to yellow (simple to complex), and separate sequences of these patterns are shown for concurrent measurements of fast and slow dynamics.

Don't work in this area and can't vet claims about the study, so am curious what others think. Generally, the core argument Chris appears to make—breaking the blind is a fatal flaw for any RCT—appears similar to the argument we've made about using psychedelics for treating mental health problems.

Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?
Two posts from Bluesky. The first one shows a figure from a paper published in Nature Scientific Reports full of totally incoherent AI fabricated gibberish words. The other a comment on a recently published paper by eLife discussing the paper and its peer reviews which were published along with the paper.

Evidence from 14 research funding programmes confirms that early winners tend to keep winning (Matthew effect). But the idea that an early setback makes you stronger later doesn’t replicate widely. buff.ly/UEtcRd4
eLife Assessment

This important study reports the results of efforts to replicate two phenomena of significant interest to early-career scientists and scientific policymakers: the Matthew effect and the early-career setback effect. Several previous studies of these effects have focused on early-career researchers with grant proposals that fell just below or just above a funding threshold. Those just above the threshold were more likely to be successful when they applied for funding later in the career (an example of the well-known Matthew effect), while those just below were more likely to go on to have stronger publication records (the early-career setback effect). In this study the Matthew effect was found to be robust across funders, and to generalize from those close to the funding threshold to the whole population. The early-career setback effect was not robust across funders and did not generalize to the whole population. The evidence reported is convincing.
