Cancer researchers out of Harvard prove once again science is run by humans, fallible humans, and has no omniscient presence outside of the flawed humans that use the methods that define what science really is.
These cancer researchers were caught fudging data in 37 Cancer studies that call into question the studies and the credibility of the researchers themselves. The next time someone tells you to “believe the science,” ask them if “the science” is an omniscient god, because that’s how they treat it when they use such critique-killing declarations.

Top cancer researchers at Harvard have been accused of scientific fraud affecting 37 studies. The researchers are also accused of manipulating data images with simple methods such as copy-and-paste and Adobe Photoshop.
The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, is retracting six scientific studies and seeking to correct 31 others that were published by its top researchers, including the hospital’s CEO, according to a report by Ars Technica.
Data sleuth Sholto David and his colleagues on PubPeer, an online forum for researchers to discuss publications, reportedly brought forward the allegations on January 2, when David posted a lengthy list of possible data manipulation from DFCI researchers to his research integrity blog, For Better Science.
