Our latest study investigates how this fraud is organized and sustained.04 Aug 2025 20:47 +0000at://did:plc:nj5n2e2cd2d2cp7woovizuxb/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvm2uulpvs2phttps://bsky.app/profile/amarallab.bsky.social/post/3lvbvupcpj22zHuge congratulations to the newly-minted Dr. Huaxia Zhou on successfully defending his dissertation! We’re so proud of all he’s accomplished, and we'll be posting on his work as it goes to press. He’s now headed to Tucson, AZ for a postdoc—wishing him all the best in this exciting next chapter!31 Jul 2025 19:50 +0000at://did:plc:nj5n2e2cd2d2cp7woovizuxb/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvbvupcpj22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/amarallab.bsky.social/post/3lv36lvlr5k2xWe’re thrilled to share that our work on automating detection of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) was just published in @natcomms.nature.com! The tool flagged ARDS with higher sensitivity than an internal medicine physician.

They scanned 1M+ materials science papers and found 1 in 5 with mismatched SEM metadata—often tied to flawed results and signs of paper mills. A potential way to flag questionable science.
