Was anyone else really disappointed in December when, after eight months of trying to reproduce results that were under question of doubt, Haruko Obokata finally had to admit defeat. That her citric acid bath wasn't reproducing strap cells; that the embryonic stem cell blood she produced didn't match the mouse blood it was taken from -- and all that? Big scientific breakthrough back in 2014 turned into an even bigger lie.
It was like Alexis Carrel's chicken heart all over again, really. Except I suppose, people still support Carrel's chicken to a certain degree (even though no one questions the Hayflick phenomenon) and there is a certain sceptical part of me that thinks the only reason Carrel has some support and Obokata doesn't is because she's a woman and it's weird to say this because it makes neither one of them any less wrong.
I need to stop reading articles on the internet.

I actually heard that you were here, and I saw you on the network already, but I've been a bit scared out of my own wits to say anything to you. And now I've collected my wits and I'm still not exactly sure what it is I really wanted to say.
Except, well. Thank you. I suppose. Just for all your hard work, and everything that you've done. Ever since I started at the SHIELD Academy back -- back ages ago, now, it feels like -- I just always really admired and respected your work so. That's it really. That's all I had to say.
