This is basically Theranos 2.0, except instead of the fraud affecting a small number of people who got inconsistent blood results and some rich investors who lost money, the academic fraud described here has led to billions of dollars being used to develop ineffective therapeutics on a fraudulently supported hypothesis and the loss of a decade of research opportunity into alternatives. Horrific.

Erin McQuitty I sent this book to my husband and told him to read it and tell me his thoughts.


Alison I’ll be interested to hear his thoughts!! The scandal at the center of it is really at university research lab where they doctored images and went on the publish some of the most cited papers in Alzheimer’s research around the amyloid hypothesis
