New Bacterial Life Model Carried by an Electronic Eastern WindA research article published in Science in China [42(6): 644-654, 1999 (English); 29(6): 571-579, 1999 (Chinese)] reports a successful long-term real-time continuous observation on bacteria living in liquid suspension. The observations led to a proposal of new bacterial life model. This new model claims that two bacteria formed from one bacterium have a parent-child relationship and bacterial age should be defined by the chronological time it experiences and not by its reproduction stage.

The Lost Generation of Scientists?
Compared with the winning of Nobel Prizes at young ages by our father’s generation of scientists, scientists now even had a hard time to start their independent research career at young ages. However, this delay in starting financial independency for research may just be a minor cause as compared with the life-time tight control of senior scientists over junior scientists for the loss of young generation of scientists in realizing their research potentials. An examination of Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology revealed that no one younger than 47 years has won such prize since 1986. More intriguing than this, Nobel Prizes awarded in recent two decades rarely went to their contemporary researchers but often went to our father’s or even grandfather’ generation of scientists who made their discoveries decades ago.

The Impact Factor Scam in Scientific PublishingImpact factor (IF) has become a very popular commodity in scientific publishing. However, how much value it really has when its calculation is based on many misleading or even completely invalid citations. Is the strong promotion for IF a commercial scam?

Open Letter to Nobel Prize Selection Committee against Awarding Yamanaka and other iPS Cell ResearchersThe discovery of iPS cells has been heralded as a milestone discovery that is equivalent to the first biological airplane. Rumors have been circulated that Yamanaka should win a Nobel Prize for this and this link is now even made into the print of Science. However, not only iPS cells are just some man-made cancer cells but also many claims for iPS cells are outright deceptions. It is thus would be a great irony this discovery will be nominated and even win a Nobel Prize.

Published Insights for Distinctions between iPSCs and ESCs and Why and HowA Matters Arising manuscript condemning citation misconduct and credit robbery in a high-profile Cell Stem Cell publication and describing more comprehensive understanding of the differences between iPSCs (incorrectly programmed stem cells or, previously known as induced pluripotent stem cells) and ESCs (embryonic stem cells) was rejected by Cell Stem Cell, despite a strong protest.
