Unhelpful retraction notice about a study that received favourable media attention
What is this about?
This blog post is about a retracted article about the spread of aerosolised coronavirus that had received noticeable media attention but was suddenly retracted. Neither the publishing journal nor the corresponding author has reacted to requests for further information.
Why is this important?
It shows that media attention received by a study is not necessarily an indication of reliability or accuracy of reported results.
