Matt: You know, I wonder why in the field of stem-cell research, all of the frauds are coming from Asian nations. S. Korea, and now Japan. > > Not to try and draw ethnic lines, but maybe they put a little bit too much pressure on success in science over there?-If you have followed my thread re' peer review and retractions, it is not just the Asian countries. Science is now a big business with high incomes, funded in large part by benevolent nations, who want the glory of being very successful in scientific study. Look at the paywall journals as a major part of it. It is like Eisenhower in his farwell address warning gainst the government/military complex. I'm warning against the government/science research complex. Money cand corruption. But not to say that much excellent science is still being produced, like possible South Pole gravity waves. Automatic Nobel stuff if reproduced.
