What ‘data thugs’ really need
In 2006, when Kevin and I started to examine Potti’s data on genetic signatures of cancer, both of us had tenure and resources to devote to the work. (We were funded to provide statistical support to faculty members and could easily argue that they would want to implement techniques Potti described.) Once we established (at least to our own satisfaction) that the results were simply wrong, it was harder to justify our work, but we couldn’t stop: patients were being enrolled in useless trials that would expose them to toxic agents.See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses, Immunology & Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca
