I am sending an open letter to Thermo Fisher. Their response to my response to their manipulated western blot is bullying and petty. Yes, this western blot really is manipulated, it is unfair on me to say otherwise. I don't make those accusations lightly, and I have a (minor) reputation to defend.

But a fight with the nation’s oldest, richest and most elite university is a battle that President Trump and his powerful aide, Stephen Miller, want to have.

I see the needs for a strong union for federal employees. I heard there are unions representing them but are they working on supporting them in this crisis?

A professor and department chair at University of Shanghai for Sci & Tech used insulting language responding to questions on Pubpeer. Well, that’ll only invite more scrutiny of the hundreds of your papers. 上海理工大学余灯广教授在Pubpeer 回复质疑时用词粗野，显然不知道质疑者可能也是专家才不会被骂跑，那就莫怪你的数百篇论文会被进一步查验。

No words can fully describe my feelings about what has been happening at the NIH which is regarded the holy place for all of us biomedical researchers who have submitted proposals and so luckily have received fundings from. Deeply sad and disturbed. Those who ruin NIH/CDC/FDA are evils.

Just so all of us chemists are on the same page, if @acs.org pulls this shit, we're all canceling our memberships and will never publish in an ACS journal or attend an ACS meeting ever again, right? RIGHT? And this has nothing to do with being a 25-year member and never receiving a mug.

Bad. But how bad? I once asked myself, while finding fakes in the Scientific Report @natureportfolio.bsky.social. So I decide to "do my our research" - I took 100 articles in a row from Physical sciences that contains diffraction. Result - 15 fakes out 100. Details in the 🧵 #ResearchIntegrity 1/x

The journal “Scientific Reports” is put out by a large, respected publisher and is supposed to review its manuscripts so as not to publish obvious junk. That doesn’t seem to be true any more. Are they going to do anything about it?
