Nice! MIT and a lot of the other elites would cover up.

I'll be interested to see if the professor keeps their job. I suspect so. A little fraud is rarely met with more than a wrist slap at the elite schools.

I don't have an informed opinion here (on how other elite universities would handle such an event). Do you have a citation? I did find an MIT retraction and not a cover up in the recent past though. See [1].

Author claims a frame up. Now that is something I've seen at MIT. The Institute has unique means to crash and burn people's reputations so most people fold.

Can we expect an incredibly long and petty diatribe from the accused author about how it was really all a meta-study to expose the 'grievance' cell research journals?
