How the Alzheimer's Research Scandal Set Back Treatment 16 Years (2022)

In 2006, a landmark study in Nature identified a possible cause of Alzheimer’s disease. For almost 16 years, this study influenced how scientists approached Alzheimer’s and how major research grants were given. But in the summer of 2022, the editors of Nature issued a chilling disclaimer. There was concern regarding the images that accompanied the article.

This New ‘Superman’ Spot Tells Us the Movie’s Gonna Cut to the Chase About Clark and Lois

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2026-03-19 21:45:31
