In addition, the quality of the day-to-day scientific research in Dr. Tessier-Lavigne’s lab that went into the paper and the presentation of the associated data in the paper, though not performed or generated directly by Dr. Tessier-Lavigne, fell below accepted scientific practices, let alone Dr. Tessier-Lavigne’s self-described standard of scientific excellence:
- Basic biostatistical computational errors. From access to portions of the original research record for Nature ’09, it has become apparent that certain of the biostatistical calculations underlying the figures in Nature ’09 contained errors. Some of these errors relate to rudimentary statistical calculations including, for example, the erroneous inclusion of the sample mean as a data point for the calculation of the sample standard error or standard error of the mean.
- Figure image anomalies. (посмотрите отчет, чтобы понять что называется аномалией)))
The Panel understands that Dr. Tessier-Lavigne is considering a corrective course regarding the paper given the additional information now known to him. The Panel encourages Dr. Tessier-Lavigne to pursue a robust (просто главный баззворд современности) remedial approach (whether that is a retraction or a comprehensive and robust (повторяйте еще) set of corrections) in the interest of the scientific record and consistent with his own self-described standard of scientific excellence
Но ладно, это все еще разогрев. Дальше смешнее, правда.
