      Health Nerd Retweeted Michael Levitt

      This sort of scientific gatekeeping is bizarre and incomprehensible As someone who was the victim of a similar effort recently, I find it extensively gross to see senior scientists practising eminence-based sciencehttps://twitter.com/MLevitt_NP2013/status/1393600374108418048 …

      Health Nerd added,

      Michael Levitt @MLevitt_NP2013
      Senior scientist work hard & write hundreds of papers to earn recognition. Social media & preprint servers are turning a model successful for hundreds of years up-side-down. Compare data reported by Google Scholar before dismissing giants like John Ioannidis. Shame on MIT. https://twitter.com/MLevitt_NP2013/status/1392805311434477570 … pic.twitter.com/bNSBudpPQV

      Come on!!! That paper is hilarious, have you read it? https://twitter.com/federicolois/status/1392225367365234691 … The cognitive dissonance between the 'findings' and the conclusion is so absurd that made me laugh.

      Federico Andres Lois added,

      1/n I was going to write a review myself, because this paper was hilarious, specially the twist at the end. @MIT_CSAIL discovers through observations that there is something called "Scientific Method". But the thread by @commieleejones is just gold. He deserves a follow. https://twitter.com/commieleejones/status/1391754136031477760 …

      I did not read it, but even if it is terrible the point still stands. Attacking PhD students for not being professors is the worst type of ad-hominem

      Do you think it's appropriate to attack PhD students you disagree with by arguing that you and your friends are so illustrious that you cannot have said anything wrong?

      Look, I didn't make it into the paper (would be close though one of those unnamed nodes is me for sure). If I would have, I would have call MIT to ask for a retraction. The paper is just that bad, but aside in the same way I condemn Ioaniddis appendix I would this one.

      Just to put it this way. Remember, this is what I do for a living, if I would have been an advisor I would have said something instead of rubber stamp it as it seems it happened.

      Not an answer. You can call for a retraction without belittling PhD students

      If I would have been named explicitly, sorry but it becomes fair game. There are ethical ways to present information, this one scores a tick in every checkbox of what not to do on that regard. The only way to label it is as a hit-piece, sorry. It is Data Presentation 101.

      Total red herring. Regardless of the paper's quality, attacking the lead author for being a PhD student is wrong and I cannot believe you'd argue against this very fundamental point of science
