X & Bluesky are full of complaints of every US agency that gets layoffs & repeated claims of permanent damage & whatnot.

This kind professor and "scientist" drew some attention by insulting me and Thallarcha lechrioleuca on PubPeer.

Wouldn't it be nice if u could read a published pharma-sponsored clinical trial about some new drug & be confident that the results are what they appear to be? @chrisdc77 & I think it's very achievable using the @RegReports peer review model. Our proposal ⬇️ www.openpharma.blog/blog/transpa...
