Chapter 869: Lip-to-lip sparring, academic fraud (Part 3)
Below the stage, most of the media reporters sat in the first row while the live broadcast was going on.
More than a dozen mobile phones were pointed at the stage, capturing the tense scene clearly.
Then it is transmitted to the entire network synchronously through wireless relay.
In other words, in addition to the invited experts, professors, and media reporters, a large number of netizens will also witness everything in this debate.
At that time, the barrage of comments had gone crazy, densely covering the live broadcast page——
[This Hamasaki Kawashima doesn't look like a good person]
His face is like a shoehorn
[Shoehorn +1]
[Those who say Hamasaki is a shoehorn: Are you polite? ]
[Hey, what's the point of being polite?]
"That's right, you can't be too strict with people who are living a comfortable life, understand?"
[Please focus the camera on Sister Yue, thank you, I don’t want to see the soles of her shoes]
[Yes, I need to wash my eyes urgently]
[First the shoe horn, then the shoe sole, now all the bamboo shoots in the world have been taken away by you]
It's "we," not "you" [smile] Don't be so formal~]
I really love Sister Yue’s calm expression.
[By the way, where is this? Is it Mingda? I've been to Mingda, and I don't think there's a place like this.]
[Learn about Mingda University's trump card—Endless Tower!]
[Wow! I get it! It's that new building behind the teaching building, next to the golf course, right? I saw someone on the forum saying it's going to be a mecca for future scientists, integrating research and leisure, creating the world's largest new interdisciplinary work community.]
[Holy crap! Isn't this just a big pigpen, with all the scientists tucked in there?]
[Uh——this metaphor seems to be okay?]
…
Barrages of comments flashed by, and experts from various countries were also paying close attention.
Some people directly took out their work computers and started summarizing, while others used the most primitive method of recording key points with pen and paper.
After Hamasaki Kawashima finished speaking, some of them nodded, some shook their heads, but most of them remained neutral and did not express their opinions.
From time to time, they would whisper to each other and discuss:
"If Hamasaki Kawashima's experimental data is correct, then the final conclusion will not be too far off."
"Therefore, the credibility of experimental data, especially human sample data from clinical trials, is the key to determining whether the final conclusion is valid."
"I agree with that."
"I agree."
"But the problem now is that clinical trial data is much more difficult to obtain than animal test data, and is greatly affected by individual differences. It is also difficult to eliminate interference factors during analysis."
“…”
Therefore, the focus of the debate in the audience became whether the clinical data was credible.
Note that it is "credibility" rather than "authenticity".
So far, no one has suspected that there may be problems with Hamasaki Kawashima's experimental data.
After all, no matter how mediocre and unproductive a researcher is, as long as he has a little professional quality, he should know that the most basic thing in the experimental process is to ensure that the data is true and reliable.
Only then can we start analyzing, otherwise everything will be castles in the air.
After all, Hamasaki Kawashima is a well-known scientist and he would not be ignorant of this basic common sense.
Because everyone subconsciously trusted Hamasaki Kawashima, they were bound to be surprised by what happened next, because—
Jiang Fuyue spoke.
"Before I formally begin to refute Professor Hamasaki's views, I would like to ask you to take a look at these two clinical trial data analysis reports."
As soon as the words were spoken, it was displayed on the screen.
"As you can see, this sample report compares to the sample numbered A mentioned in the paper—pregnant women of the same age, with similar physical indicators and the same medication dosage, all at five months of pregnancy—basically achieving a one-to-one replication effect, controlling for all variables. However, the results I ultimately obtained are completely opposite to the conclusions presented in Professor Hamasaki's paper!"
Wow——
Everyone present here is an industry expert and no one is stupider than anyone else. As soon as these words were spoken, the audience exploded.
"how so?"
"Same data, same analysis method, but opposite conclusions? How can this be possible?"
“That shouldn’t be the case…”
"There's definitely something wrong here! Either the paper is wrong, or the sample used in the subsequent one-to-one replication is not rigorous."
"Logically speaking, Hamasaki Kawashima is a veteran in the medical field, and Jiang Fuyue is a rising star who just won the Lasker Medal. Given their achievements and levels, they shouldn't make such a low-level mistake."
"Yeah, a low-level mistake..." someone sighed and scoffed, "It's so low-level that it's a bit unreasonable."
When things are abnormal, there must be something wrong!
…
On the stage, Hamasaki Kawashima's expression froze slightly. He sat up straight subconsciously and looked directly at Jiang Fuyue for the first time.
Suddenly, the girl looked towards him, and their eyes met in mid-air. Hamasaki Kawashima narrowed his eyes slightly, but she smiled faintly: "Professor Hamasaki, why do you say this?"
Hamasaki Kawashima calmly took the microphone and said, "First, there are individual differences in samples. While the samples you listed are roughly similar to the ones I used, they are not exactly the same. This means there is an error in the control variables. Therefore, it can only be that there is a problem with your sample, or that the analysis steps are not rigorous enough!"
"Secondly, I used a vertical and horizontal analysis method, which involved eliminating impact factors. This was only mentioned in one sentence in the paper, and you may not have noticed it, causing you to miss this step when replicating the experiment."
In the final analysis, for him, whether there is a problem with the sample itself or the failure to eliminate influencing factors, the problem ultimately lies with Jiang Fuyue!
"Really?" Jiang Fuyue didn't get annoyed when questioned on the spot. Instead, she smiled playfully. "But I have a second, third, and even more sample reports that are 1:1 replicas. If there are individual errors in one or two copies, then there can't be errors in hundreds or thousands of copies, right? What do you think the possibility of this happening is?"
Almost zero!
"However, the conclusion you reached is contrary to that in your paper? Why is that?"
While Jiang Fuyue was making his statement, the second, third and even more data reports appeared on the screen. Although they flashed by, everyone knew at a glance that they were not fake.
"Time is limited, so it's difficult to present everything one by one. If anyone here is interested, you can ask me for a copy later. Of course, Professor Hamasaki, you can too. In fact, the clinical observation samples I provide are more numerous and more comprehensive than those in your paper!"
Hamasaki Kawashima's brows knitted together, and he suddenly had a bad feeling...
The next second, Jiang Fuyue spoke word by word, his voice resounding, "Why aren't you talking? Never mind. I'll answer for you. The reason the conclusions are completely opposite is because—you fabricated the data!"
This chapter is relatively short, so please bear with me. I added a comment section, corrected some typos, and straightened out the logic of the debate between the two people in the middle. If there are scientific research experts, please don't criticize me and let me, a half-baked person, go [please] [please]
