I've seen people talking about this around that web, but only just read it. It's quite interesting, as it's about a field I know nothing about (attempt to use expression arrays to choose the most effective drugs for cancer patients), but I wouldn't highly recommend it if you're pushed for time.

It seems like misconduct is commonly ignored, which makes me feel better about the utter disinterest there's been in the problems with PACE. Makes me feel much worse about science as an endeavour.
