That stem cell guy is S Korea has quit his post at the university. Everybody has egg on their face. Publishers mortaged the farm to get books about him on the shelves; and now it's all bust.
Committees have been reviewing his work to see if there's anything salvageable.
But of course pk laughs and shrugs. What did you expect? His work was in an area of big money, big fame. All such papers should be reviewed: but by whom? The government? The university? What integrity do they have?
Science is real. But it can't be administered. It comes when anyone is intellectually honest for a moment. It comes like falling in love: and goes, just as fast. We can try to attract it: take a shower, dress up ... train our minds. But it comes, or it doesn't. Like a visit from God.
Don't count too many reported visitations as true; but know: there can be some. It's just impossible to be sure when, where, or to whom.
