There is a reason I am skeptical of scientists. Her excuse was she was just too busy at the time of the paper being submitted.... yeah right. You got caught, and the Nobel gave you money and a medal. Are you going to give both back.

I believe she is referring to the paper on the enzymatic synthesis of beta-lactams published in May 2019 in the Science journal, not her work on directed evolution which garnered the Nobel in 2018. She had no choice to retract once it was determined her work was not "reproducible". At least someone was doing a follow-up. It makes you wonder about the veracity of the Noble process.

I should have scrolled first for I made basically the same comment , the paper at the root of the story was not the work that won her the Nobel Prize. And the Nobel committee - to be fair- is pretty doggone consistent and their Veracity is subject to Public Debate. Unless, like Einstein you Publish three Papers that should have won a Nobel Prize, and did not. Simply because nobody understood them. So he won for the photoelectric effect...and to me, and many others, that was the "least" significant Paper out of the four he wrote that carried that kind of weight.
