Talk:Mauro Ferrari

Bias?
Ferrari published criticism of the ERC, and the personal attack in response by the ERC currently dominates this article, making it essentially an unsubstantiated and biased criticism of a living person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alkhowarizmi (talk • contribs) 00:43, 9 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Agree - the details of ERC resignation should not be fully discussed in the introduction. There are more details / words on the topic in the introductory paragraph than in the Career section discussing it.  I will edit to scale back the intro.  &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 23:15, 10 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Additional details should be added about the general EU coronavirus responses controversy on both sides that are the backdrop for the dispute. Also, need additional references on the employment agreement for Ferrari & past presidents as well. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 00:05, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Section by Anonymous editor on "alleged image forgery"
A paragraph was added today in the Career section about an April 2020 article "co-authored by Mauro Ferrari in Science Advances" being "flagged for multiple cases of image forgery at PubPeer.

However, in reading the linked reference, the words "image forgery" are never used. Excerpts (italics mine):
 * Figure 5F appears to have 2 sets of images which overlap. I thought I saw something similar in the liver images, but can't find it now.
 * The Jejunum and Ileum panels appear to show areas of overlap.
 * The 1h and 8h set of organs look surprisingly similar, except for the amount of signal captured.

Concluding that there is a forgery is not even by the words of this linked reference. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 22:53, 10 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Overlap in such figures is forgery. The exact same tissue cannot be treated and non-treated. These commenters collect proof of Photoshop at work, such as https://pubpeer.com/publications/99DCF9E7DF5144BE3205C40BA48DC9#3 - you may want to talk to Elisabeth Bik who commented about what these allegiations mean. To quote her: "Could the authors clarify if some of the mice had two sets of major organs, please?" - that is a rethoric question... I had intended to add the coverage at  https forbetterscience.com 2020/04/14/bullshitter-mauro-ferrari-out-as-erc-president/ For Better Science] here, but someone has added that URL (its a journalist blog!) to the Wikipedia blacklist so I cannot. Maybe because that author is quite offensive at calling out fraud like this... Give that paper two years, then it will be retracted. Publishers are slow, because its money for them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.243.79.152 (talk) 12:06, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
