I work on an obscure aspect of a very rare immune cell in the human body that most scientists and textbooks safely ignore, and I have had more people show up at a seminar I was once invited to give as a junior researcher for which my host had completely forgotten to send out announcements.

Our latest preprint is out now - beautiful work led by Kate Davies in James McLaren's lab in collaboration with Bristol and Dublin. "Superantigen-driven polyfunctional CD4+ T follicular regulatory cells impair tonsillar plasmablast function and class-switched antibody production"

Data manipulation at a breathtaking scale by commercial providers of crucial research reagents. As if the few remaining lab scientists didn't face enough obstacles already.

How much of Thermo Fisher’s antibody data has been manipulated?

We’ve documented more than 100 instances of apparent data manipulation in Thermo’s catalog
