Theranos: O’ How The Mighty Have Fallen

It seems like a perfect plot for a drama fuelled movie: a young, pretty and audaciously smart woman drops out of university to “revolutionise” an existing industry with the encouragement of her old supervisor (punch line “be the change you want to see”). The upstart wannabe then starts to dress in black turtlenecks –in emulation of her hero – and spout rhetoric of “revolutionising blood testing” with her wondrous Edison machine. But here’s the catch: Edison is still a prototype and does not seem to work (queue ominous music with minority extra solemnly declaring that “all the tests are wrong”). The FDA then catches on, shuts down one of the two clinics, and the older, but still pretty, woman contemplates the inevitable crash of her company. Coming soon, starring Jennifer Lawrence as the founder of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes.

Expression of Concern on article published by uBiome / PubPeer scientist Elisabeth Bik

Image
Concerns were raised about the origin of stool samples used to generate the microbiome dataset. Specifically, concerns were raised about the possible inclusion of samples from participants affected by health conditions or antibiotic usage, and non-humans. The first author has stated that an audit of customer service data held at uBiome in August 2019 identified information indicating that one of the samples submitted by a uBiome user, and labelled as a human gut sample, may have had a non-human origin.

The troll Leonid Schneider & ‘For Better Science’: crank or cure?

Image
I’ve been aware of Leonid Schneider’s expose blog ever since the piece on the supposed  fraud of Nobel prize-winner Gregg Semenza  appeared on my Twitter feed. Schneider portrays himself as an  under-dog ; the self-styled “ failed scientist ” has taken a liking to pillaring the hypocrisies of the scientific establishment. To be honest, although criticisms of the undertakings of science are always needed, especially when it concerns matters of data integrity, publishing practices, and perverse incentives in academia, I am a bit weary of uncritically listening to someone who appears to have no established career in either science or science journalism (the only pieces published under his own name appear only on the blog he runs). And his pieces do come off with a bit of crankiness.
