    That’s just not true, false research gets posted alot in biology and can go for years without getting caught

    For example, the whole Alzheimer’s research thing. A paper that was published in nature faked data and sent everybody down the wrong path for Alzheimer’s cure for 20 years. They claimed to have found that a certain protein causes Alzheimer’s, therefore all new research went towards making drugs that strip that protein.

    This was a landmark paper that was in a “hard science” field and still fooled alot of people
