I am writing to you because that I am suffering from “PKD” too. I am not a PKD patient, none of my family member is. I am a PKD researcher. In the work, I found out that some of the important data which were published and used by the laboratory to apply for NIH(National Institutes of Health)grants were falsified and fabricated. I presented the evidences and made complaints to the principle investigator of the laboratory and the officials in the institute. However, I was retaliated against for my whistle blowing and was asked to leave my position. If the research misconduct is covered up, millions dollars of taxpayers' money could be in danger of being wasted, the health of patients like you could be in danger of unprotected, and the truth would be buried by the lies. The adverse impact to PKD family is obvious.<BR/>I found the falsification and fabrication on PKD research were extensively spreading in the field. It is ridiculous and astonishing. Among all the false papers published, the cilium story is the most egregious one. I have plenty of evidences and reasons to say that most of the papers about the PKD and cilium were fake. <BR/>Meanwhile, I would like to say that it is like emperor’s new clothes, only kid like me (in Science) spoke up. <BR/>Is it hard to believe? Contact me for details, if you are interested.<BR/>In the end, I sincerely wish you and all PKD patients would obtain real cure sooner.<BR/>Linc<BR/>lincbacon@yahoo.comLinchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638409110356247313noreply@blogger.com
