☆ Science Sleuths Are Using Technology to Find Fakery and Plagiarism in Published Research
  + stars: | 2024-01-28 | by ( Associated Press | Jan. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +6 min
Allegations of research fakery at a leading cancer center have turned a spotlight on scientific integrity and the amateur sleuths uncovering image manipulation in published research. The blogger, 32-year-old Sholto David, of Pontypridd, Wales, is a scientist-sleuth who detects cut-and-paste image manipulation in published scientific papers. By Jan. 22, the institution said it was in the process of requesting six retractions of published research and that another 31 papers warranted corrections. The sleuths download scientific papers and use software tools to help find problems. Some journals told the AP they are aware of the concerns raised by David's blog post and were looking into the matter.

☆ A 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost was brought back to life, and started having babies
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Rebecca Cohen | Jenny Mcgrath | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Scientists revived a 46,000-year-old worm that was living in Siberian permafrost. When they brought it back to life, the worm started having babies. When they revived it, the worm started having babies via a process called parthenogenesis, which doesn't require a mate. According to a press release, the worm spent thousands of years in a type of dormancy called cryptobiosis. This new species, however, called Panagrolaimus kolymaensis, was dormant for tens of thousands of years longer.

Insider mapped out Europe's hottest startups launched by ex-Apple staffers, according to Dealroom data. Startups that have hired ex-Apple staffers, such as chip startups Rivos and Nuvia, have been accused by the tech giant of poaching ideas and copyright infringement. From 2010 to 2015, ex-Apple staffers had registered 163 startups which cinched funding. As the tech giant widens its global footprint, with new manufacturing bases and stores in India, its roster of alumni-turned-founders is also fast expanding across continents. Here are the 22 European startups led by ex-Apple staffers that experienced the most growth in the 12 months to May 2023, according to data from Dealroom.

☆ Creepy photos reveal the microscopic world of parasitic creatures thriving on sandy beaches worldwide
  + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Rebecca Strong | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: 1 min
Nematodes are typically less than 1 millimeter in length, so Bik and her team use powerful microscopes to study them. This particular species — known as the Ceramonema — is commonly found on underwater mountains in the deep sea. Jim Baldwin and Manuel Mundo-OcampoWhat sets these nematodes apart are the complex wave-like patterned plates covering their entire body. "There are so few scientists working on these species and there's so much sand out there," Bik said. "If you grab a bit of sand outside your doorstep or at your local beach, you're probably holding hundreds of new species."
☆ The 10 people transforming healthcare, from companies like Moderna, Humana, and Lexeo Therapeutics

Elisabeth Bik, microbiologist, scientific integrity consultant, Harbers BikHelynn Ospina/InsiderIn June 2013, as she was working as a research associate at Stanford University, Elisabeth Bik noticed that someone had plagiarized some of her work in a book chapter. Since then, Bik has made a career out of exposing doctored images and other information manipulation in scientific information. "I feel I can be the voice of a lot of people without power to raise these concerns because I don't really care if a person is the dean of a big university or the editor in chief of a journal," she told Insider.
☆ These transformative leaders in healthcare are dealing with an unprecedented era of politics in the medical industry amid the COVID-19 pandemic

But while the peak of the pandemic appears to be in the rearview, the healthcare industry has continued to be governed by political forces. This year, healthcare focused on transgender people and abortion rights has come under attack. Other healthcare professionals are using federal power to prevent the spread of infectious diseases other than COVID-19. Social stigma from the monkeypox outbreaks has mildly echoed the intense social and political stigma of HIV, which Daskalakis has focused on for the majority of his career.
☆ Opinion | Science Has a Nasty Photoshopping Problem
  + stars: | 2022-10-29 | by ( Elisabeth Bik | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +14 min
One evening in January 2014, I sat at my computer at home, sifting through scientific papers. Manipulated imagery in scientific papers can look ordinary at first glance. However, this ability, combined with my — what some might call obsessive — personality, helped me when hunting duplications in scientific images by eye. So when a scientist’s research shows a negative result, cheating can be tempting. Legitimate criticism of scientific research should receive legal protection.
