In a CHD article, El-Deiry is quoted complaining that PubPeer has no “citizenship requirements.”
And they say he seems to be equating raising scientific concerns with being charged with a crime. 🚔

This seems to be a common thing for @GettyImages, although the photographer names are different, there’s a bunch that look generated the same way. I didn’t see any disclosure that these aren’t real photos. 🤷♂️

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice

Vandaag verscheen er een paper waarin gekeken is naar de oversterfte in NL tijdens de Covid-19 pandemie en welke rol de vaccinaties daarin speelden. In de studie hebben ze gekeken naar gegevens van vrijwel alle Nederlanders van 63 jaar en ouder gedurende 2020 en 2021

Thank you for joining us at #ASMS2026! Your closing lecture was a memorable way to wrap up an incredible week of science, discussion, and discovery. We're so glad you enjoyed your time in San Diego!
1st None of these people work for journals who retracted your papers.
2nd You can’t call those articles “research.” One retraction statement literally read: “The article does not meet the standards of editorial or scientific soundness.”
3rd Misfits? Fair enough 🍻
I am sending an open letter to Thermo Fisher. Their response to my response to their manipulated western blot is bullying and petty. Yes, this western blot really is manipulated, it is unfair on me to say otherwise. I don't make those accusations lightly. #ThermoFishy
Thank you, @asmsnews, for inviting me to give the closing lecture in San Diego. So many great questions and discussions afterward. And the dinner party on the USS Midway deck was fantastic.
You guys are a lovely bunch!

The child in "The Emperor's New Clothes" didn't destroy the Emperor's reputation.
The invisible clothes did that.
Pointing out problems isn't what creates them.
In January, I reviewed a Review for a crappy MDPI journal.
It was 100% AI, missing citations, etc. I sent a massive report, and the authors withdrew it.
Today, I see it published without a single change in another even crappier MDPI journal.
