Still few days to register to the Berlin Organoid Symposium. Don't wait the last minute! Great list of speakers. More talks will be selected from abstract. Great opportunity for networking and direct interactions with expert in the field. All that in a the great city of Berlin! lnkd.in/dB5Ky4rj

A massive update: At least ~15 companies~ are selling scientists antibodies using faked validation data. We've documented 18,000+ manipulated images on 17,000+ products sold by leading laboratory suppliers including Thermo Fisher, Abcam, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Millipore Sigma and Bio-Techne. 1/🧵
