I have just left a lengthy Pubpeer comment on the autism/Tylenol study being cited by the Trump administration. There appear to be a number of fairly straightforward errors in the paper.

A tool used to rephrase plagiarised text changed "final solution" to "mass killing of an ethnic group" in a chemistry paper. Now retracted thanks to a PubPeer user who spotted this. pubpeer.com/publications...

This is one of the most remarkable academic debacles I've ever seen.

A large RCT got published in BMJ. There are currently 44 Pubpeer comments, mostly about the data, including...well. Read for yourself.

Oh hey, it's a Very Fucked Paper.

See the pubpeer thread, it's a fun one:

There's an interesting conversation unfolding on PubPeer. Inconsistencies were flagged in a paper by a "global keynote speaker on AI&neuroscience" and then the author casually mentions on LinkedIn that she also has pre-post-fMRI for 300 people 👀>

ScienceGuardians, where disgruntled authors complain about PubPeer

A new BSky account that promises some big reveals about PubPeer users, but never delivers. Instead, it spews false accusations and conspiracy theories.

Further analysis of Packalen & Bhattacharya article, where they claimed #NIH-funded research was slow to pick up on new ideas. I argue that their approach is flawed, and I present an analysis that shows the exact opposite.

I have complained about lab leakers hiding behind pseudonyms to avoid accountability, so I decided to comment on PubPeer under my real name.

It was a nice surprise to discover that I could even be credited for it! Thank you PubPeer :-)

@bmj.com Please look at PubPeer comments on an article you published last week. pubpeer.com/publications...
I think your research integrity dept shld act swiftly on this one, given clinical significance.
I'm aware of even more evidence of problems so let me know if this is not sufficient.

I still see folks questioning if PubPeer and data sleuths go too far. Anyone worried about scientific vigilantism should read Doctored. Integrity mechanisms aren't working, they're more needed than we'd like to think, and the pubpeer crowd has done way more good than harm for AD research.

We need a pubpeer for science journalism and press releases.

he needs to get his critique up on Pubpeer
It is egregious that RFK Jr requested @annalsofim.bsky.social retraction of this paper because he didn't like the data www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...
