That's why I like NIH study section. Even poeple with NCS, one person in
the study section (or more than reviewers) says he/she has hard time
reproduce the result will stop those non-sense. Some mistakes are so
obvious if you check. For example, PNAS papers with non-linear primers for
RT-PCR or worse wrong primers for the species (a simple blast will show how
non-sense the paper is that pass reviewers due to big bull boss).
Only people here who are not PIs think you need NCS or PNAS. I have none!
However, I'm half chemist. If I publish something, usually there is a small
molecular involved, so it better work out because someone will be selling
it in no time or request the reagent from me.
