But a comment on an online science forum called PubPeer convinced me something might be at the bottom of this one. That anonymous 2015 observation helped spark a chain of events that led Stanford’s president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, to announce his resignation this month. Stanford opened the investigation in response to reporting I published last autumn in The Stanford Daily, taking a closer look at scientific papers he published from 1999 to 2012. (My team of editors, advisers and lawyers at The Stanford Daily stand by our work.) In retrospect, much of the data manipulation is obvious.

☆ Stanford University president to quit after review finds flaws in his research

July 19 (Reuters) - The president of Stanford University, one of the most prestigious U.S. schools, announced plans on Wednesday to resign his post after an independent review ordered by its board of trustees found flaws in his research as a neuroscientist. Those allegations were in connection with Alzheimer's disease research carried out when Tessier-Lavigne was the executive vice president of research drug discovery at the U.S. biotechnology company Genentech Inc. But the review of 12 research papers dating over two decades found that when concerns about the research were raised, "Tessier-Lavigne failed to decisively and forthrightly correct mistakes in the scientific record." As a result of the review, Tessier-Lavigne said he was going to retract three papers and correct another two. The board of trustees named Richard Saller, a professor in Stanford's Department of Classics, as interim president beginning Sept. 1.

Mr. Baker, 18, resurfaced claims in a Nov. 29 article for The Stanford Daily that neuroscience research papers in which Dr. Tessier-Lavigne was listed either as principal author or co-author had altered imagery. The claims had been repeated over the years on PubPeer, a website that allows scientists to discuss research. The next day, Stanford University opened an investigation into Dr. Tessier-Lavigne with a panel of outside scientists. Dr. Tessier-Lavigne denied those claims. “That allegation appears to be mistaken, as Genentech has stated,” the panel’s report said, though it noted “multiple problems” with the 2009 study.

Marc Tessier-Lavigne, a renowned neuroscientist, announced on Wednesday that he would step down from his position as president of Stanford University, after the release of an external review of his scientific work found fault with several high-profile journal articles published under his purview. A committee drafted the review in response to allegations that Dr. Tessier-Lavigne was involved in scientific misconduct. In its report, which focused on 12 academic papers, the committee said there was no evidence that Dr. Tessier-Lavigne had knowingly falsified data or withheld such information from the public. In response, Dr. Tessier-Lavigne vowed to retract three of the five articles, request major corrections for two and step down from his position as president. “I am gratified that the panel concluded I did not engage in any fraud or falsification of scientific data,” Dr. Tessier-Lavigne said in a statement, adding: “Although I was unaware of these issues, I want to be clear that I take responsibility for the work of my lab members.”

☆ Stanford President Will Resign After Report Found Flaws in His Research

Following months of intense scrutiny of his scientific work, Marc Tessier-Lavigne announced Wednesday that he would resign as president of Stanford University after an independent review of his research found significant flaws in studies he supervised going back decades. The review, conducted by an outside panel of scientists, refuted the most serious claim involving Dr. Tessier-Lavigne’s work — that an important 2009 Alzheimer’s study was the subject of an investigation that found falsified data and that Dr. Tessier-Lavigne had covered it up. The panel concluded that the claims “appear to be mistaken” and that there was no evidence of falsified data or that Dr. Tessier-Lavigne had otherwise engaged in fraud. But the review also stated that the 2009 study, conducted while he was an executive at the biotech company Genentech, had “multiple problems” and “fell below customary standards of scientific rigor and process,” especially for such an influential paper.

☆ Stanford Launches Review of President’s Research After Misconduct Allegations

Stanford’s board launched a review of the university president’s research after a report in the Stanford Daily, the student newspaper. Stanford University’s board of trustees is investigating whether multiple research papers co-authored by the school’s president, neuroscientist Marc Tessier-Lavigne , contained altered images, raising concerns about the academic integrity of the leader of one of the world’s top research institutions. The board launched the review after the Stanford Daily, the school’s student newspaper, reported this week that a European scientific journal was reviewing one of Dr. Tessier-Lavigne’s papers and said that an expert on research misconduct also found potential errors in three other papers on which Dr. Tessier-Lavigne was co-author years ago.
