The punishment for science misconduct is …. nothing. All these men are still running labs / paid professors.
List of high-level Alzheimer's researchers accused of credible fraud:🧵 #1 - Marc Tessier-Lavigne Genentech pointed out problems in his 2009 Nature paper in 2012. After an expose by @tab_delete, he had to resign from Stanford Presidency, but can still run lab and do research.

Cells located in the midline of the embryo play crucial roles in development. These cells often influence cell fate decisions and guide axons to establish bilateral connections. Despite their importance, studying these transient cells and their complex interactions has been challenging. Today, we introduce human midline #assembloids—3D self-organizing cellular clusters derived from stem cells by the functional integration of floor plate #organoids and spinal cord #organoids. We demonstrate that midline assembloids enable cell specification and axon guidance in human neurons. Additionally, we use these assembloids to screen and identify human-enriched factors that control these processes. Work led by the incredible @massimo_onesto & @neal_amin!! More details in the preprint 👇
