Image Enhancement Software: Just say NO by Smut ClydeĪ Nobel Prize in the sciences is a gratifying adornment to one’s career, and few people turn one down when it is offered, but sometimes events remind us that they are awarded for participation in a notable advance in chemistry or physics or biology as the case may be… not for infallibility, or all-round perfection of character.
It is up to the scientific community and journals to figure out if a Nobel Prize winner can ever be author of fraudulent papers, and if yes, how one is best to discreetly ignore the evidence as not to damage the venerated institution of the Nobel Prize. Which brings us to another impressive collaboration of his: Ignarro co-authored a number of publications with clearly fabricated data, in collaboration with certain Photoshop artists like Claudio Napoli. Smut Clyde will guide you through the maze of duplicated images and gel bands. Some of that salesman activity found its way (without proper conflict of interest declaration) into Ignarro’s scientific research output, in form of peer reviewed papers. Ignarro did two interesting things: for one, he went on to sell dietary supplement for the company Herbalife (where he and his consulting firm were paid $15 mn already by 2012), as well as pomegranate juice for the POM Wonderful Company. The story is presented to you by my regular contributor Smut Clyde. Ignarro, 1998 awarded for the discovery of nitric oxide as molecular cell signalling agent. Which brings us to another Nobelist who knows how best to monetize his Prize: Louis J. Scientist could not have a better role model.- Dr.

Ham Smith, Nobel prize 1978 turned 87 today and still works full time at the Venter Institute. Fun fact: the billionaire biotech enterpreneur Graig Venter blocked me for my comment on this related tweet: This is why no less than 7 Nobelists joined the board of Elysium, a fountain-of-youth-peddling biotech company founded by one, let’s say controversial, MIT researcher Leonard Guarente. After all, you cannot expect a genius to survive on elite professor salary and the $1 mn Nobel Prize money alone. Other Nobelists prefer to destroy their academic credibility more subtly: by selling out, admittedly for some really serious money. Linus Pauling used his Nobel intellect to find a cure for virtually everything with Vitamin C, Luc Montagnier discovered the “memory of water”, commonly known as homeopathy, to which Montagnier soon added anti-vax conspiracies. Examples of Nobelists venturing into silly science or even quackery are not that rare. Not all Nobel Prizes were deserved, scientifically or ethically, with James Watson being the prime example for both. The Nobel Prize is the highest award there is in science, a genius certificate which makes the recipient omniscient and puts him (usually it is a he) on a God-like moral level, ie.
