Back in March, we wrote about the case of Chinese researchers who pulled their 2011 paper in the Journal of Molecular Medicine on ginseng’s potential as a heart remedy because a couple of their images were suspect (duplicated was the word they’d used). Turns out the journal suffered some collateral damage. JMM also has corrected [...]

I've ranted and raved in the past here and elsewhere about my dislike for "Designed Experiments", which are often abbreviated as DOE's (Design of Experiments).First off, the name is meaningless, as just about all experiments are "designed" as the word is commonly defined, that is, they are "create[d], fashion[ed], execute[d], or construct[ed] according to plan" . There are accidental experiments, but most are designed, so to call this method of experimental design by the name "Designed […]

Sophisticated computational analyses must be performed on metabolomics data in order to measure the abundances of the metabolites. However, this typically requires expert knowledge in computer programming and biostatistics, restricting the usefulness of metabolomics to specialised laboratories. Thanks to funding from the UK’s Natural Environment Research Council, this project will develop a software platform based on Galaxy to make it much easier for non-specialist scientists to

What exactly is a liquid? It’s a seemingly basic question with an answer which may seem obvious to any of us. But as with so many things in science, it may not be as straightforward as you think. Of course [...]testThe post The World’s Slowest Experiment appeared first on Australian Science.
