(USA) ‘Highly Questionable:’ Investigation Casts Doubt on Cassava Alzheimer’s Drug Data – Being Patient (Simon Spichak | October 2023)
At first glance, this story from the US relates to a commercially sponsored clinical trial. Still, it allows us to make some points relevant to human research in all disciplines and methodologies. If work is essential for the reputation and finances of your body (whether commercial, academic, NGO or other), it is not enough to conduct excellent and impactful search, and you need to be perceived as doing that work ethically, with integrity and responsibly. This story highlights severe consequences if there is a perception that you have not done the research in that way.
