[Music]

[Music] hello everybody thank you very much for

hello everybody thank you very much for

hello everybody thank you very much for that super welcome as Hamish very kindly

that super welcome as Hamish very kindly

that super welcome as Hamish very kindly introduced me as I’m going to talk to

introduced me as I’m going to talk to

introduced me as I’m going to talk to you today about fraud and his conduct in

you today about fraud and his conduct in

you today about fraud and his conduct in biological sciences so fraud misconduct

biological sciences so fraud misconduct

biological sciences so fraud misconduct aren’t you may be going on for a long

aren’t you may be going on for a long

aren’t you may be going on for a long time for example in the 1970s there was

time for example in the 1970s there was

time for example in the 1970s there was a chap named William Summerlin they said

a chap named William Summerlin they said

a chap named William Summerlin they said that he was going to transplant the skin

that he was going to transplant the skin

that he was going to transplant the skin from black mice onto white mice and

from black mice onto white mice and

from black mice onto white mice and instead he just colored in the black the

instead he just colored in the black the

instead he just colored in the black the white mice with a black marker pen very

white mice with a black marker pen very

white mice with a black marker pen very good science this the subject i’m going

good science this the subject i’m going

good science this the subject i’m going to talk to you about today and why it’s

to talk to you about today and why it’s

to talk to you about today and why it’s called the acid test for Biological

called the acid test for Biological

called the acid test for Biological Sciences is something called stop cells

Sciences is something called stop cells

Sciences is something called stop cells st AP Stat cells and step cells were

st AP Stat cells and step cells were

st AP Stat cells and step cells were cells that we were told about in january

cells that we were told about in january

cells that we were told about in january 2014 and these cells would apparently be

2014 and these cells would apparently be

2014 and these cells would apparently be able to come from anywhere in the body

able to come from anywhere in the body

able to come from anywhere in the body and we’ll be able to transfer them into

and we’ll be able to transfer them into

and we’ll be able to transfer them into stem cells okay stem cells and all we’d

stem cells okay stem cells and all we’d

stem cells okay stem cells and all we’d have to do is a very simple procedure

have to do is a very simple procedure

have to do is a very simple procedure such as dipping them in acid but it

such as dipping them in acid but it

such as dipping them in acid but it turns out that this wasn’t right this

turns out that this wasn’t right this

turns out that this wasn’t right this wasn’t correct it was fraudulent and

wasn’t correct it was fraudulent and

wasn’t correct it was fraudulent and that’s what we’re going to talk about

that’s what we’re going to talk about

that’s what we’re going to talk about today am I going to examine it in two

today am I going to examine it in two

today am I going to examine it in two ways we’re going to talk about it by a

ways we’re going to talk about it by a

ways we’re going to talk about it by a replication so carrying out multiple

replication so carrying out multiple

replication so carrying out multiple copies of the same experiment and

copies of the same experiment and

copies of the same experiment and through trust as well the trust either

through trust as well the trust either

through trust as well the trust either between scientists or between public and

between scientists or between public and

between scientists or between public and the science so as I mentioned fraud

the science so as I mentioned fraud

the science so as I mentioned fraud isn’t something you lots of people have

isn’t something you lots of people have

isn’t something you lots of people have done studies on fraud as well for

done studies on fraud as well for

done studies on fraud as well for example ferric Fang produce these nice

example ferric Fang produce these nice

example ferric Fang produce these nice stats that we’ve got here in front of us

stats that we’ve got here in front of us

stats that we’ve got here in front of us and between 1973 and 2012 there were

and between 1973 and 2012 there were

and between 1973 and 2012 there were 2047 articles published in the

2047 articles published in the

2047 articles published in the biomedical sciences that were attracted

biomedical sciences that were attracted

biomedical sciences that were attracted forty-three percent these are attracted

forty-three percent these are attracted

forty-three percent these are attracted because of either fraud or suspected

because of either fraud or suspected

because of either fraud or suspected fraud so in 2016

fraud so in 2016

fraud so in 2016 after the stat cell saga had come about

after the stat cell saga had come about

after the stat cell saga had come about we thought it was important to have a

we thought it was important to have a

we thought it was important to have a look at how this was affecting stem cell

look at how this was affecting stem cell

look at how this was affecting stem cell sites in particular so we did a bit more

sites in particular so we did a bit more

sites in particular so we did a bit more number crunching and this is what ferret

number crunching and this is what ferret

number crunching and this is what ferret Quran came out with for this second

Quran came out with for this second

Quran came out with for this second study between nineteen eighty nine and

study between nineteen eighty nine and

study between nineteen eighty nine and twenty sixteen there were three thousand

twenty sixteen there were three thousand

twenty sixteen there were three thousand two hundred and forty-four stem cell

two hundred and forty-four stem cell

two hundred and forty-four stem cell articles retracted that’s around two and

articles retracted that’s around two and

articles retracted that’s around two and a half times more than we would expect

a half times more than we would expect

a half times more than we would expect for Biological Sciences as a whole 51%

for Biological Sciences as a whole 51%

for Biological Sciences as a whole 51% we’re attracted because of either fraud

we’re attracted because of either fraud

we’re attracted because of either fraud or suspected fraud so perhaps there is a

or suspected fraud so perhaps there is a

or suspected fraud so perhaps there is a little bit more fraud going on in both

little bit more fraud going on in both

little bit more fraud going on in both in stem cell science than in biomedical

in stem cell science than in biomedical

in stem cell science than in biomedical science perhaps as them as public though

science perhaps as them as public though

science perhaps as them as public though we are more aware of fraud in stem cell

we are more aware of fraud in stem cell

we are more aware of fraud in stem cell science stem cell size is really

science stem cell size is really

science stem cell size is really exciting really interesting its new is

exciting really interesting its new is

exciting really interesting its new is cutting edge and a media like to tell us

cutting edge and a media like to tell us

cutting edge and a media like to tell us about it when we have the drama of fraud

about it when we have the drama of fraud

about it when we have the drama of fraud mixed into that we get you more excited

mixed into that we get you more excited

mixed into that we get you more excited about it in the media jump on it so

about it in the media jump on it so

about it in the media jump on it so we’re far more aware a stem cell fraud

we’re far more aware a stem cell fraud

we’re far more aware a stem cell fraud so this is the article I wanted to talk

so this is the article I wanted to talk

so this is the article I wanted to talk to you about today these are stuck cells

to you about today these are stuck cells

to you about today these are stuck cells st AP stem cells and step stands for

st AP stem cells and step stands for

st AP stem cells and step stands for stimulus triggered acquisition of

stimulus triggered acquisition of

stimulus triggered acquisition of pluripotency what on earth does that

pluripotency what on earth does that

pluripotency what on earth does that mean well it means that we can take

mean well it means that we can take

mean well it means that we can take cells from anywhere in the body and

cells from anywhere in the body and

cells from anywhere in the body and apply a stimulus for example exposure to

apply a stimulus for example exposure to

apply a stimulus for example exposure to a strong acid and this would cause the

a strong acid and this would cause the

a strong acid and this would cause the cells to revert back to a stem cell-like

cells to revert back to a stem cell-like

cells to revert back to a stem cell-like state and what this means is that these

state and what this means is that these

state and what this means is that these cells can then produce any other cell in

cells can then produce any other cell in

cells can then produce any other cell in the body that’s what the pluripotency

the body that’s what the pluripotency

the body that’s what the pluripotency means so that’s what we have we have

means so that’s what we have we have

means so that’s what we have we have cells from anywhere in the body becoming

cells from anywhere in the body becoming

cells from anywhere in the body becoming stem cells through a very quick very

the paparazzi when this work came out the clothes that she wore but the press

the clothes that she wore but the press

the clothes that she wore but the press conferences sold out across Japan

conferences sold out across Japan

conferences sold out across Japan because people wanted to be like her

because people wanted to be like her

because people wanted to be like her truly an overnight celebrity based on

truly an overnight celebrity based on

truly an overnight celebrity based on this work that she published so let’s

this work that she published so let’s

this work that she published so let’s have a look at exactly what happened to

have a look at exactly what happened to

have a look at exactly what happened to stop cells then initially the reaction

stop cells then initially the reaction

stop cells then initially the reaction from the scientific community was great

from the scientific community was great

from the scientific community was great excitement why well all of a sudden we

excitement why well all of a sudden we

excitement why well all of a sudden we had the ability to produce stem cells in

had the ability to produce stem cells in

had the ability to produce stem cells in the lab from any other cell very quickly

the lab from any other cell very quickly

the lab from any other cell very quickly very easily and very efficiently why was

very easily and very efficiently why was

very easily and very efficiently why was this important well there were two other

this important well there were two other

this important well there were two other options that are available to scientists

options that are available to scientists

options that are available to scientists who wanted stem cells capable of doing

who wanted stem cells capable of doing

who wanted stem cells capable of doing this work the first are embryonic stem

this work the first are embryonic stem

this work the first are embryonic stem cells very difficult to use we’re

cells very difficult to use we’re

cells very difficult to use we’re talking with regards to ethics with

talking with regards to ethics with

talking with regards to ethics with regards to morals and legally as well in

regards to morals and legally as well in

regards to morals and legally as well in fact in some countries you can’t use

fact in some countries you can’t use

fact in some countries you can’t use embryonic stem cells at all so it

embryonic stem cells at all so it

embryonic stem cells at all so it completely blocked that line of research

completely blocked that line of research

completely blocked that line of research the second option would be to use

the second option would be to use

the second option would be to use induced pluripotent stem cells again

induced pluripotent stem cells again

induced pluripotent stem cells again these were developed in Japan in the

these were developed in Japan in the

these were developed in Japan in the early 2000s and in 2012 shinya yamanaka

early 2000s and in 2012 shinya yamanaka

early 2000s and in 2012 shinya yamanaka who is one of the developers of induced

who is one of the developers of induced

who is one of the developers of induced pluripotent stem cells won the Nobel

pluripotent stem cells won the Nobel

pluripotent stem cells won the Nobel Prize on what this meant was with again

Prize on what this meant was with again

Prize on what this meant was with again we could take cells from anywhere in the

we could take cells from anywhere in the

we could take cells from anywhere in the body tweak their genetics so that they

body tweak their genetics so that they

body tweak their genetics so that they would start using genes that they hadn’t

would start using genes that they hadn’t

would start using genes that they hadn’t used since they were stem cells put

used since they were stem cells put

used since they were stem cells put those back into action and again they

those back into action and again they

those back into action and again they would start becoming stem cells but the

would start becoming stem cells but the

would start becoming stem cells but the process was inefficient it was

process was inefficient it was

process was inefficient it was technically difficult and it was long

technically difficult and it was long

technically difficult and it was long winded at the moment it wasn’t really an

winded at the moment it wasn’t really an

winded at the moment it wasn’t really an option for other loves to use this is

option for other loves to use this is

option for other loves to use this is why people

why people

why people excited about stop cells great for

excited about stop cells great for

excited about stop cells great for developmental biologists they had a

developmental biologists they had a

developmental biologists they had a reason to say that environment affected

reason to say that environment affected

reason to say that environment affected our development as well as genetics and

our development as well as genetics and

our development as well as genetics and for medicine as well imagine being able

for medicine as well imagine being able

for medicine as well imagine being able to take a sample from anywhere in the

to take a sample from anywhere in the

to take a sample from anywhere in the body of someone turning that sample into

body of someone turning that sample into

body of someone turning that sample into stem cells and then regrowing it into

stem cells and then regrowing it into

stem cells and then regrowing it into another organ skin or liver for example

another organ skin or liver for example

another organ skin or liver for example really exciting but a few weeks later we

really exciting but a few weeks later we

really exciting but a few weeks later we start to have some problems with these

start to have some problems with these

start to have some problems with these publications first and foremost we start

publications first and foremost we start

publications first and foremost we start to see that people were saying that the

to see that people were saying that the

to see that people were saying that the some of the images used weren’t quite

some of the images used weren’t quite

some of the images used weren’t quite right we had two images for example it

right we had two images for example it

right we had two images for example it should have come from two separate

should have come from two separate

should have come from two separate experiments but it was in fact the same

experiments but it was in fact the same

experiments but it was in fact the same image the opposite also occurred where

image the opposite also occurred where

image the opposite also occurred where in fact we had images whether it was

in fact we had images whether it was

in fact we had images whether it was supposed to be from two separate

supposed to be from two separate

supposed to be from two separate experiments put together to make it look

experiments put together to make it look

experiments put together to make it look as though it was from one so had some

as though it was from one so had some

as though it was from one so had some image manipulation problems there later

image manipulation problems there later

image manipulation problems there later on we start have more problems where

on we start have more problems where

on we start have more problems where people are trying to replicate the work

people are trying to replicate the work

people are trying to replicate the work what people trying to replicate it

what people trying to replicate it

what people trying to replicate it because it is so exciting they want to

because it is so exciting they want to

because it is so exciting they want to use these stem cells in their lab but

use these stem cells in their lab but

use these stem cells in their lab but they couldn’t do it and in a few weeks

they couldn’t do it and in a few weeks

they couldn’t do it and in a few weeks following at the publication of the

following at the publication of the

following at the publication of the article the one of the original authors

article the one of the original authors

article the one of the original authors tried to replicate this work in a

tried to replicate this work in a

tried to replicate this work in a different lab and he just couldn’t do it

different lab and he just couldn’t do it

different lab and he just couldn’t do it click and get the experiment to work

again another few weeks later and the

again another few weeks later and the some genetic tests were carried out to

some genetic tests were carried out to

some genetic tests were carried out to see whether the stat cells that over

see whether the stat cells that over

see whether the stat cells that over Carter said she produced were actually

Carter said she produced were actually

Carter said she produced were actually step cells and it turns out that they

step cells and it turns out that they

step cells and it turns out that they weren’t it looks as though they were

weren’t it looks as though they were

weren’t it looks as though they were already stem cells this isn’t looking

already stem cells this isn’t looking

already stem cells this isn’t looking good this isn’t looking good now so

good this isn’t looking good now so

good this isn’t looking good now so whereas originally people started to try

whereas originally people started to try

whereas originally people started to try and replicate this study because they

and replicate this study because they

and replicate this study because they wanted to use this as a tool in the lab

wanted to use this as a tool in the lab

wanted to use this as a tool in the lab now they were having to use it as a

now they were having to use it as a

now they were having to use it as a challenge they wanted to see whether

challenge they wanted to see whether

challenge they wanted to see whether snap cells were real or not

over Carter finally agreed to retract

over Carter finally agreed to retract papers this was after people had accused

papers this was after people had accused

papers this was after people had accused her of plagiarism in her previous work

her of plagiarism in her previous work

her of plagiarism in her previous work and other manipulation problems in her

and other manipulation problems in her

and other manipulation problems in her previous work so the papers were

previous work so the papers were

previous work so the papers were attracted in the summer and by this time

attracted in the summer and by this time

attracted in the summer and by this time more than 20 different laboratories had

more than 20 different laboratories had

more than 20 different laboratories had tried to replicate the results

tried to replicate the results

tried to replicate the results unsuccessfully so the question is was

unsuccessfully so the question is was

unsuccessfully so the question is was over Carter guilty of fraud or

over Carter guilty of fraud or

over Carter guilty of fraud or misconduct well let’s have a look at

misconduct well let’s have a look at

misconduct well let’s have a look at both replication and Trust and see

both replication and Trust and see

both replication and Trust and see whether she was or not so here’s trust

whether she was or not so here’s trust

whether she was or not so here’s trust definition there for us to focus on so

definition there for us to focus on so

definition there for us to focus on so we know what we’re talking about there

we know what we’re talking about there

we know what we’re talking about there are two main issues of trust that we

are two main issues of trust that we

are two main issues of trust that we have at the moment and that science

have at the moment and that science

have at the moment and that science let’s re trust within science and trust

let’s re trust within science and trust

let’s re trust within science and trust external to science so in science we

external to science so in science we

external to science so in science we have informal and formal measures of

have informal and formal measures of

have informal and formal measures of trust where scientists would talk to

trust where scientists would talk to

trust where scientists would talk to each other informally in the coffee room

each other informally in the coffee room

each other informally in the coffee room for example talk about experiments they

for example talk about experiments they

for example talk about experiments they were thinking of doing or some

were thinking of doing or some

were thinking of doing or some hypothesis that they were planning on

hypothesis that they were planning on

hypothesis that they were planning on testing and they would expect other

testing and they would expect other

testing and they would expect other researchers not to pinch those ideas and

researchers not to pinch those ideas and

researchers not to pinch those ideas and go and do them first there’s also the

go and do them first there’s also the

go and do them first there’s also the peer review process for example which is

peer review process for example which is

peer review process for example which is a more formal method of trust where

a more formal method of trust where

a more formal method of trust where researchers are sent for example funding

researchers are sent for example funding

researchers are sent for example funding applications and again aren’t expected

applications and again aren’t expected

applications and again aren’t expected to run off with those ideas and go and

to run off with those ideas and go and

to run off with those ideas and go and do than themselves or their expects to

do than themselves or their expects to

do than themselves or their expects to give honest critique and feedback

give honest critique and feedback

give honest critique and feedback they’re not expected to sabotage someone

they’re not expected to sabotage someone

they’re not expected to sabotage someone else’s work in this peer review process

else’s work in this peer review process

else’s work in this peer review process so that’s trust replication replication

so that’s trust replication replication

so that’s trust replication replication is seen as the cornerstone of scientific

is seen as the cornerstone of scientific

is seen as the cornerstone of scientific research in theory it is one of the most

research in theory it is one of the most

research in theory it is one of the most important things you can do in

important things you can do in

important things you can do in experiments repeat your experiments to

experiments repeat your experiments to

experiments repeat your experiments to see if you get the same results it’s

see if you get the same results it’s

see if you get the same results it’s very important for confidence in your

very important for confidence in your

very important for confidence in your results important for reliability

results important for reliability

results important for reliability important to demonstrate quality for

important to demonstrate quality for

important to demonstrate quality for example and pretty much every single

example and pretty much every single

example and pretty much every single researcher on the planet would agree the

researcher on the planet would agree the

researcher on the planet would agree the replication was important however in

replication was important however in

replication was important however in practice not so simple and there are

practice not so simple and there are

practice not so simple and there are four reasons for this

four reasons for this

four reasons for this firstly if you look at any scientific

firstly if you look at any scientific

firstly if you look at any scientific paper the method section is really quite

paper the method section is really quite

paper the method section is really quite short in comparison to the rest of the

short in comparison to the rest of the

short in comparison to the rest of the paper it’s not detailed there’s no

paper it’s not detailed there’s no

paper it’s not detailed there’s no nuance on there and that makes anyone

nuance on there and that makes anyone

nuance on there and that makes anyone trying to copy this method sorry leaves

trying to copy this method sorry leaves

trying to copy this method sorry leaves anybody with trying to cut to copy this

anybody with trying to cut to copy this

anybody with trying to cut to copy this method in some difficulty because they

method in some difficulty because they

method in some difficulty because they don’t know exactly these fine details

don’t know exactly these fine details

don’t know exactly these fine details and nuances the second problem is that

and nuances the second problem is that

and nuances the second problem is that the resources might not be available for

the resources might not be available for

the resources might not be available for example if you were testing a drug you

example if you were testing a drug you

example if you were testing a drug you would perhaps test it on very specific

would perhaps test it on very specific

would perhaps test it on very specific group of patients that’s type of patient

group of patients that’s type of patient

group of patients that’s type of patient might not be available anymore so you

might not be available anymore so you

might not be available anymore so you can’t replicate the test furthermore

can’t replicate the test furthermore

can’t replicate the test furthermore another problem is that there might not

another problem is that there might not

another problem is that there might not be funding available so lack of

be funding available so lack of

be funding available so lack of resources again no scientists to do it

resources again no scientists to do it

resources again no scientists to do it because you can’t pay them no money to

because you can’t pay them no money to

because you can’t pay them no money to pay for the equipment so on and so forth

pay for the equipment so on and so forth

pay for the equipment so on and so forth this brings us on to the third problem

this brings us on to the third problem

this brings us on to the third problem with replication and that’s that there

with replication and that’s that there

with replication and that’s that there is no motivation from scientists while

is no motivation from scientists while

is no motivation from scientists while my other scientists motivated well

my other scientists motivated well

my other scientists motivated well because they can’t get replication

because they can’t get replication

because they can’t get replication studies published and they can’t get

studies published and they can’t get

studies published and they can’t get funding for them funders do not want to

funding for them funders do not want to

funding for them funders do not want to pay for research that has already been

pay for research that has already been

pay for research that has already been done elsewhere but vacations do not want

done elsewhere but vacations do not want

done elsewhere but vacations do not want to publish research that has already

to publish research that has already

to publish research that has already been done elsewhere everything has to be

been done elsewhere everything has to be

been done elsewhere everything has to be new and original and exciting and

new and original and exciting and

new and original and exciting and cutting-edge there is no place for

cutting-edge there is no place for

cutting-edge there is no place for replication the fourth reason the last

replication the fourth reason the last

replication the fourth reason the last reason why replication falls down in

reason why replication falls down in

reason why replication falls down in science in practical reality is that it

science in practical reality is that it

science in practical reality is that it can be seen as a challenge to other

can be seen as a challenge to other

can be seen as a challenge to other scientists it can be seen as a challenge

scientists it can be seen as a challenge

scientists it can be seen as a challenge to another scientist replicator other

to another scientist replicator other

to another scientist replicator other scientists integrity and skill we don’t

scientists integrity and skill we don’t

scientists integrity and skill we don’t want to do that it’s going to cause

want to do that it’s going to cause

want to do that it’s going to cause great animosity between scientists

great animosity between scientists

great animosity between scientists between labs even between countries and

between labs even between countries and

between labs even between countries and it really isn’t where ever want to go

it really isn’t where ever want to go

it really isn’t where ever want to go with science we don’t want to create any

with science we don’t want to create any

with science we don’t want to create any animosity in that respect so let’s have

animosity in that respect so let’s have

animosity in that respect so let’s have a look at trust and replication in

a look at trust and replication in

a look at trust and replication in specifically in the step sell

specifically in the step sell

specifically in the step sell controversy
