STAP scandal (pic related) from the Head of Anesthesiology at Harvard, Charles Vacanti, and the Riken institute in Japan. A female researcher, Haruko Obokata, said she made differentiated cells pluripotent by dipping them in acid— lol (one of her mentors, the Deputy Director of the Riken Institute in Japan, who was collaborating with Vacanti and overseeing Obokata, hung himself in the stairwell of Riken Instutute). This was barely heard of in the news.
