Mehta, N. (2015, January 20). Interview with Randy Schekman. In 2010, Linda Buck retracted two scientific papers because she and her colleagues were unable to reproduce the findings. The first paper was published in the journal Nature in 2001. The second paper was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2005. The retractions cited inconsistencies between images shown in the papers and the original data. The researchers looked at the olfactory system in mice. The first author, Zhihua Zou, a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Linda Buck, carried out the experiments and produced the data analysis.

In 2014, the Office of Research Integrity (ORI), United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found that Zhihua Zou, Ph.D. of Harvard Medical School and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, falsified data in a research project grant supported by the National Institute of Deafness and other Communications Disorders (NIDCD), National Institutes of Health (NIH). The data were included in the publications (later retracted).
