According to US media reports, Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne recently resigned due to academic integrity issues. Is a well-known media reporter.
“Washington Post” (The Washington Post) reported that Baker was a freshman at Stanford University (Stanford University). He only became a reporter for the campus media “Stanford Daily” (Stanford Daily) many months ago, and has been obsessed with a huge project. Reporting challenges.
Baker was looking for employees at a biotech company in California’s Bay Area to review studies that Tessie Laveney had overseen, as Tessie Laveney had been a senior executive at the company.
Last fall, a friend of Baker told him about a posting on the academic website PubPeer (a platform for academic peer review) that pointed to negligence in the report by Tessie Laveney’s research team.
So in early October last year, Baker asked scientific experts to review papers co-authored by Tessiera Laveney that included images they alleged were manipulated.
On October 29, Baker’s Stanford Daily published one of a dozen stories about the allegations. The next day, the university conveniently convened a panel of experts to launch an independent investigation into Tessiera Laveney’s research.
Last week, the panel ruled that Tessie Laveney had failed to correct errors in years of scientific papers and had overseen the lab with “unusually frequent” data manipulation.
On July 19 this year, Tessie Laveney issued a resignation statement announcing that he will step down as president on August 31, but will still serve as a faculty member of Stanford University.
At first, Baker’s parents were concerned and skeptical when Baker said he was investigating research misconduct involving the headmaster, a well-known neuroscientist who had just turned six years as headmaster.
His father, Peter Baker, recalled telling his son: “Be careful. This man is a world-renowned scientist and you’re just a 17-year-old kid.”
Both Baker’s parents were journalists who covered wars and presidents. Mother Glasser (Susan Glasser) was a former editor of the Washington Post and currently works for The New Yorker (The New Yorker). His father, Peter, also served at the Washington Post and is currently the White House chief correspondent for The New York Times.
Glasser said of his son that from an early age, he had a deep understanding of the speed of the “News Cycle” (the set time for the media to convey new information).
Baker is about to enter his sophomore year and has not yet decided on a major. “I’d probably end up choosing a combination of humanities and STEM[fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics],” he noted.
