A study identifies the footprint of entities cooperating to produce scientific fraud at scale, including paper mills and brokers. The number of fraudulent publications is growing far faster than legitimate publications. In PNAS: ow.ly/CHkM50WBuLX
ALT Publication interactions among individuals flagged for retractions and/or PubPeer comments at PLOS ONE. Every individual is shown as a circle whose size is proportional to the number of accepted articles that they handled as editor (range of 1 to 852 articles).

Our own Reese Richardson just defended his PhD thesis and received his program's Outstanding Dissertation award! Way to go, Dr. Richardson! š
Thanks to the big event, we finally have an updated lab photo! Some people could not make it and were scaled up by 1000% as penance. š
