Harvard Teaching Hospital To Retract Papers As Falsified Data Scandal Unfolds | ZeroHedge

Weeks after Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned amid a plagiarism scandal, the university's teaching hospital is set to retract or correct dozens of papers authored by four of their top researchers, following claims of data falsification.

Dana–Farber Cancer Institute CEO Laurie Glimcher, one of several people whose work is under fire.

Six papers have already been selected for retraction, and 31 others are in the process of being corrected by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, according to the Harvard Crimson, citing the hospital’s research integrity officer, Dr. Barrett Rollins.

Four of the researchers at the Dana-Faber center have faculty appointments with the Harvard Medical School.

The data manipulation claims came to light after investigator Sholto David published a blog post several weeks ago alleging irregularities among 57 papers. He had previously alleged "data forgery" – which included discrepancies in images consisting of duplications of blots, bands and plots, according to the report.

In short, AI is going to absolutely wreck a lot of ivory tower copycats…
