Nobel prize is a corrupting influence on science. Unrelated to that, the three people who got it can be celebrated anytime.
I know Dale would have been raising a glass today.

-Hey Karl, is this a bullshit paper in Nature?

Analyzing....

Please please please call it Karl!

Did you fix the coffee machine ?

due to the complex valued nature of time, a small calibration error resulted in overlooking a time-phase shift of pi/4 accounting for fifteen years of imaginary time. the authors regret the lack of scientific rigor.

If you call in the next 30 minutes, we will throw in this chip - a billion dollar value!

like most fake claims, it only works when it is wrong

Only one explanation for this: the journal was traveling at near the speed of light

Well-well, an entire University exposed as a Minecraft simulation...

So grateful for Slack's trademark purplish-wine-stain color which helps me rapidly know that I am talking to PhDs and not to chatGPT

Apparently Schoen who copied the same made up trace in two nature papers was asked which one was right and just picked one

We, @vincentmourik.bsky.social and I, pointed out a pattern in 4 papers to Springer Nature. They split the complaint in separate parts then handled each paper separately with no regard for a pattern. Finding a pattern provides extra evidence.
Ignoring a pattern can be a way to diminish the problem.

If you are in Pittsburgh, join us on Thursday for the opening of Scientists in Exile

We need to wait for it to come out in Nature before we jump to conclusions

In your experience, did any editor ever react to being presented with a pattern in more than one paper?

The boards of COPE are dominated by industry insiders. This combined with nominal oversight where they may consider an occasional complaint and maybe an editor takes that into account. Vent and dissipate the frustration. It is very convenient for publishers, they would not want to change anything.

anything in hunch and simplicity?

COPE is an industry interest group that provides cover to bad actors, i.e. publishers. It is not a toothless tiger it is a small part of a big monster.

Please RSVP if interested in attending the opening and the lecture on October 2nd!
