One of Britain’s leading universities has become embroiled in a major research scandal, after an inquiry found that scientific papers were doctored over an eleven year period.

Professor David Latchman, Master of Birkbeck and one of the country’s top geneticists, is accused of “recklessness” by allowing research fraud to take place under his watch at University College London’s (UCL) Institute of Child Health.

UCL launched a formal investigation after a whistleblower made allegations of research fraud in dozens papers published by scientists at the Institute.

I think the body responsible for handing out shiny gongs needs an office of Integrity to do due diligence.
Kinda like a Devils Advocate.

 

Here's a Retractionwatch article from March:

“Clear signs of manipulation” in paper co-authored by prominent geneticist

David Latchman

A third paper co-authored by researchers based at a prominent lab whose work has been under investigation on and off for almost three years has been retracted.

 

How I'd love to see same for another university and a different cast of actors. I hope it will come

 

UCL now see the teens who used to be seen at GOSH (Great Ormond St Hsp). Same nurse heads it up.

 

Does this work?
I had to copy & paste to a document in order to get the access issue sorted.
