ReproducibiliTea: DON’T DRAW YOUR DATA: Sleuth’s stories in uncovering suspicious data in preclinical Alzheimer’s research papers.

Speaker: DR. MU YANG Columbia University MedicalCenter, New York, USA
In this webinar, I will go over how I started sleuthing, and the most intriguing cases that I reported. I will discuss suspicious water maze data from several renowned researchers in the AD
field. Given the importance of the work of Eliezer Masliah, I will present representative examples of image manipulation in his papers. In the end, I will discuss how to report to journals (tips
strategies, dos and don’ts) and how to flag papers on PubPeer to foster integrity and open dialogues.
About the speaker
Mu Yang is the director of the Mouse Neurobehavior Core at Columbia University, and an accidental sleuth. After discovering fraudulent Morris water maze data in multiple papers on mouse models of Alzheimer’s, and working with Dr. Richard Morris (known for inventing a water navigation task for rodents) to report the fraud, she started to realize how rampant research
misconduct is. The frustration led her to become a sleuth. She was the lead sleuth in reporting over 130 papers by Eliezer Masliah, former director of Neuroscience at theNational Institute of Aging (NIA). Her reports have ledto over 140 retractions since 2022.
