She claimed association with Oregon State University.

With your spelling, Gordon, maybe Open University, where she has
been in charge of a dept rather than Oregen University.


Or Origen I think you spelt it.

She referenced a paper that didn't exist. When it was later published

it
claimed 1 in 100 certainty with 90 trials

So far so good, how many subjects per trial?


No comment?


I don't know she discarded data.


and data that didn't agree with
the findings was discarded with out being included an marked in the

paper.

That doesn't sound likely to be done. There could be other reasons
for rejecting the data, maybe incompleteness.


The comment was. "out liers were discarded". That means inconsistant data
was tossed out. Since it was sprouting of wheat seeds it makes one wonder.
The conventional metod for discarding data is to leave it in the plot and
mark it so people can see what you did.

The paper would get an undergrad a D or F were I come from.

The lady takes a great deal of liberty with the truth.

Did she write the questionable paper or just quote it? If it has
been found lacking following publishing has she been asked for
comment? And why didn't the peer reviewers pick it up?

It was an EPA paper no peer review.


If it is Mae-Wan Ho of Open University you write of, who did come to
NZ to address the Commission, she quotes many papers. What was this
one so we can see for ourselves how faulty it may have been?


It was Elaine Ingham and she was one of the authors of the paper that
handn't been published. http://www.biotech-info.net/green_lobby.html Many
bacteria applied to the soil and wheat planted that soon after them will
die.
