Researcher 'Cherry Picked' Data, University Investigation Finds
What is this about?
This case is about a professor of biomedical engineering whose paper got retracted because only certain data points were reported that supported the paper's conclusion.
Why is this important?
Scientific fraud is not only about presenting false data, but also about not 'cherry picking' i.e. selecting certain data points to confirm or suport a specific hypothesis or make a result appear more spectacular.
