Today I'm posting a new video to my YouTube channel! I am revisiting the story of Sam S. Yoon who was a top cancer surgeon in New York. My investigation led to the retraction of twenty cancer research papers: youtu.be/hWKvLAM7QNI
I'm so honoured, flattered, chaffed and flabbergasted! A week ago I wrote about today's NOBEL PRIZE laureate, Karl Deisseroth!
He and Sergiu Pasca claimed to have made mice with half human brain!
FFS.

Authors include an employee of a Romanian seat belt manufacturer. Doesn't inspire confidence.
Today I'm posting a new video! This case report includes AI generated images. Despite being apparently fabricated with OpenAI tools this paper is already suggested by ChatGPT as evidence to be considered for off label treatment of an autoimmune disease. youtu.be/G9KHwXNIJyk
Do you have any more AI generated results figures?
I also noticed some time ago that AI when prompted to generate scientific figures actually favours image duplication - quite ironic.
It's a follow up to a previous blog post that I wrote for ForBetterScience: forbetterscience.com/2025/11/11/l...
Today I'm posting a new video about a team of ophthalmology researchers in Germany who scribbled on their figures! t.co/X2U6zCw9pn
Haha - honestly I never thought that far ahead. Nothing antagonistic of course, you can politely ask for a lab tour, they might even oblige?! Let me know what happens 🙏
A couple of people mentioned they might go, but I'm yet to hear from someone who has! Ideal would be photos, even better, a video! Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you get out there 👍
please do - here or in a message is fine 👍
Thanks! Another very good spot. When you see it, it looks comical, but it's hard to spot the first time. I also think his clothes wrinkles and skin wrinkles seem very similar. Perhaps I will make a YouTube video on this one, it's a hot topic.
Great, yes I have done that now, I will post to PubPeer.
A SynthID has been detected in the image. He also has very nice fingernails for a 77 year old man and eyebrow hairs that morph into wrinkles...
My pleasure 😘
Thank you! Well that is quite definitive. Case closed 😂
