=== 2020 === {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1230889296900452353 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=So ... Forgive me. Wouldn’t that call Peer Review into question then? |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1230888559411789824 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=I wouldn’t worry. My friends assure me this will all be caught easily in Peer Review before publication. What stage are these drafts in *before* release? {{Tweet |image=MicrobiomDigest-profile.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/MicrobiomDigest/status/1230794470855069697 |name=Elisabeth Bik |usernameurl=https://x.com/MicrobiomDigest |username=MicrobiomDigest |content=I am ringing the alarm. We have now found >400 papers that all share a very similar title layout, graph layout, and (most importantly) the same Western blot layout. This is a massive #PaperMill of (what we assume) fabricated data. |timestamp=9:00 AM · Feb 21, 2020 }} |timestamp=3:14 PM · Feb 21, 2020 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1230889071582433280 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Wait...what? But that’s impossible! |quote= {{Tweet |image=MicrobiomDigest-profile.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/MicrobiomDigest/status/1230799216454201344 |name=Elisabeth Bik |usernameurl=https://x.com/MicrobiomDigest |username=MicrobiomDigest |content=It is extremely disturbing that most of these 400 papers have passed #PeerReview. The Western blot figures look too regular and have the same background. None of the 800+ peer reviewers or editors asked critical questions about such figures. Don't be that peer reviewer. |timestamp=9:19 AM · Feb 21, 2020 }} |timestamp=4:16 PM · Feb 21, 2020 }} |timestamp=4:17 PM · Feb 21, 2020 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1234871059553366017 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=The first clue is “98% said they considered peer review important or extremely important”. Ahem. 98% is the kind of numbers dictators put up in sham elections. Study the history here. This is the journal that wouldn’t Peer Review the Double Helix. This mob is perfectly wrong. |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1234871052582309888 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Thanks for this! In essence the article says that Peer Review isn’t even Peer Reviewable because we haven’t been able to get good data. Yet it has 98% support of researchers with nearly zero data and an incorrect first sentence in the premier science journal, Nature. #ResIpsaBaby |quote= {{Tweet |image=wolfejosh-profile.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/wolfejosh/status/1234820077213622273 |name=Josh Wolfe |usernameurl=https://x.com/wolfejosh |username=wolfejosh |content=Peer review under—peer review Calling @EricRWeinstein @BretWeinstein shining light on “DISC” distributed idea suppression complex Scientists study phenomena to REVEAL them—we ought study scientists to REVEAL phenomena of scientists who SUPPRESS (& why) https://nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00500-y |media1=wolfejosh-X-post-1234820077213622273-ESL2TxDWsAIXHEl.jpg |timestamp=11:37 AM · Mar 3, 2020 }} |timestamp=3:59 PM · Mar 3, 2020 }} |timestamp=3:59 PM · Mar 3, 2020 |media1=ERW-X-post-1234871059553366017-ESMkrqfWoAAJc6w.jpg }}
