Скачать или смотреть Science Scandal: Australian Researcher Loses Two Papers Over Data Issues - What Went Wrong?

A shocking case of scientific misconduct has emerged as a former CSIRO researcher, Benjamin Mayne, has had two papers retracted and a third under scrutiny due to data inaccuracies. These papers, published in Molecular Ecology Resources, focused on using DNA methylation as an epigenetic clock to predict animal ages. Co-authors raised concerns about the validity of the data, leading to retractions and an expression of concern. This video delves into the details of the case, exploring the implications for scientific integrity, the role of co-authors in ensuring data accuracy, and the broader impact on the field of molecular ecology. We'll also discuss the importance of reproducibility in scientific research and the consequences of data manipulation.
