  1. This should have been the lead story on every newscast this weekend when one thinks about how many people and their families are suffering from this insidious disease. A 6-month investigation by Science provided strong support for Schrag’s suspicions and raised questions about Lesné’s research. A leading independent image analyst and several top Alzheimer’s researchers—including George Perry of the University of Texas, San Antonio, and John Forsayeth of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)—reviewed most of Schrag’s findings at Science’s request. They concurred with his overall conclusions, which cast doubt on hundreds of images, including more than 70 in Lesné’s papers. Some look like “shockingly blatant” examples of image tampering, says Donna Wilcock, an Alzheimer’s expert at the University of Kentucky. The authors “appeared to have composed figures by piecing together parts of photos from different experiments,” says Elisabeth Bik, a molecular biologist and well-known forensic image consultant. “The obtained experimental results might not have been the desired results, and that data might have been changed to … better fit a hypothesis.” tldr - The last 16 years of Alzheimers research and all the money spent on that research and developing drugs is based on data that is extremely likely to be fraudulent. So the state of the research is set back about 16 years.
  2. Tom Cruise was right. Just kidding...sort of. In all seriousness, you are absolutely correct that we are way overmedicated as a society and so many of us (not everybody, obviously) want the quick and easy solution that a pill provides when faced with the slightest bit of discomfort.
  3. Jalen Williams has also looked good so far in summer league. I think OKC and Detroit will be in the play-in tournament this season. Crazy bright future for both of those teams.
  4. Just dumb decision after dumb decision here recently for Rip City. I mean, they just drafted Shaedon Sharpe, who tore his labrum in his first competitive basketball in about 2 years after getting dominated by Ivey and is out for the rest of summer league.
  5. Amen. If I and Beyonce were arrested in Russia on the same day, I'm pretty sure Beyonce's coming home sooner than me.
  6. Ha - well fuck
  7. I can only assume that @Aqua Buddha is sleeping off a hellacious hangover after getting celebratory drunk af last night.
