Former Stanford president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, retracted a major Nature paper on Alzheimer’s after a decade of resistance. Investigative reporting by Theo Baker brought down the president, who resigned due to a 'pattern of falsified research emerging from labs he ran.' Research misconduct led to the retraction, showing that it can bring down a president, even one whose research brought him to the top.
This is a case of bad research, and the problem is real. The difference from Harvard is that there is no indication that former Stanford president Marc Tessier-Lavigne is actually dumb. https://t.co/G7mO7sFq65

Investigative reporting by @tab_delete brought down @Stanford President, and now, months later, his contested “blockbuster” paper claiming Alzheimer’s breakthrough is retracted. Research misconduct can bring down a president, even one whose research brought him to the top. https://t.co/XgH7x3lskD
