The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, is seeking to retract six scientific studies and correct 31 others that were published by the institute’s top researchers, including its CEO. The researchers are accused of manipulating data images with simple methods, primarily with copy-and-paste in image editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop.
I’m not the one you asked, but I’ll try to answer anyway. Competition stems from limited resources. There is limited funding available to medical researchers. Therefore they have to compete for it.
Effectiveness and affordability of drugs is the goal of research maily in farma companies. There’s a lot of medical research that is not directly tied to a drug and is focused on how the body works and what makes it sick. Funding for all kinds of research is limited.
thank you very much.
in my ingenuity I thought this would go towards effectiveness and affordability. thank you again
