Back in universities I earned money helping teaching math as student assistant.

Biology was a desaster area.

Engineers would try to cheat and BA would try to bargain to get their points.

But Biologist would ask for the right excel sheet to do their stats pushing data around till it fits.

I am OT here but there is a site for watching scientific publications being retracted (most because of false data): https://www.reactionwatch.com and here you can see one of these falsifications https://pubpeer.com/storage/image-1517672284260.png but there are others more "advanced" using ... photoshop's mirror-image. Basically they get past data="western blots" (it is used to "measure" protein expression by means of visual examination!) and claim is for a new study as long as it shows what they want. For a long time, I used to believe that contradictory biological findings were due to the complexities of living organisms but the other factor of course is falsification of experimental results. And then the pandemic hit...

Procrustes? Surely a Biologist.

FWIW: I just read an article doubting the numbers in preprint attesting 90% efficacy to the Sputnik V corona jab

Sputking-V typoed numbers and missing data (Sorry only German version)

Scientists keep asking for clarification without getting answers.... :/
