@Talia @sharoz We're doing a review of research misconduct procedures in the UK, aiming to tease out tensions and suggest solutions: https://ukrio.org/our-work/ukrio-research-misconduct-review-2023/

UK institutions should for now follow these guidelines: https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/topics/research-and-innovation/concordat-support-research-integrity
We have this model procedure, updated this year: https://ukrio.org/ukrio-resources/publications/misconduct-investigation-procedure/

Anyone with concerns about research linked to the UK can get our free advice: https://ukrio.org/our-work/get-advice-from-ukrio/

Faltam casas para quem constrói casas. Não há tempo para formar pessoas na área da construção civil. Os negócios não avançam porque não há casas.

Quem acha que este é um problema com um causa única e que se resolve com meia dúzia de medidas avulsas para inglês ver... ...está enganado.

Na altura da troika destruímos boa parte da industria de construção civil (muita gente emigrou permanentemente). Nunca recuperamos.

“This highly cited Science paper is riddled with problematic blot images,” it said. That anonymous 2015 observation helped spark a chain of events that led Stanford’s president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, to announce his resignation this month.'

We've seen this movie before. As Imani Barbarin says, they’re going to “herd immunity” climate change.

Issued on July 26, 1948, Harry Truman’s Executive Order 9981 eradicated segregation in military. The response from the military units, however, ranged from muted to outright hostility. This was no surprise. Truman’s decision & the reactions to it symbolized Black Americans’ broad struggle for dignity, respect, opportunity, and freedom in the United States of America.

Here is my #introduction. I am a biologist interested in #neuroscience and the #evolution of cells and nervous systems. My research group studies #ciliated marine larvae from a whole-organism perspective, combining behaviour, #connectomics, #imaging, #CRISPR, #modelling and other approaches. We love marine #larvae, their #neurons, #cilia, and #neuropeptides.

This may be my all time favorite meme. Bury me in it.

BCMA targeting CARTs in #MultipleMyeloma

"At a median follow-up of 15.9 months (range, 0.1 to 27.3), the median progression-free survival was not reached in the cilta-cel group and was 11.8 months in the standard-care group (hazard ratio, 0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.18 to 0.38; P<0.001). Progression-free survival at 12 months was 75.9% (95% CI, 69.4 to 81.1) in the cilta-cel group and 48.6% (95% CI, 41.5 to 55.3) in the standard-care group."
