Orazio Schillaci, who publishes prolifically on nuclear medicine, denies responsibility for duplicated images in eight papers he co-authored between 2018 and 2022
Anche per @ScienceMagazine - che ha fatto verifiche indipendenti da @ilmanifesto - le immagini duplicate dal ministro della salute Orazio Schillaci richiedono una spiegazione urgente. @mcatanzaro @MicrobiomDigest

A fierce debate has taken over taxonomy. It's about offensive names. There's no right or wrong, but there are many, many opinions. What to do? Lots of good insight from @paleobae, @anjgoswami, @SandyKnapp, and others in my new story for @NewsfromScience. https://t.co/B8JLiSbo07

Zoologists debate whether—and how—to change scientific names now deemed offensive

These scientists spoke at webinars on COVID-19 to share their expertise - then the company behind the conferences started pursuing them for payment of thousands of euros in fees. Truly wild story from @mcatanzaro
