This is a great summary and layout of the timeline. Pubpeer is good for the community (the browser add-on is flagging the references in your write up haha), but it's not addressing the root problem. In my opinion, more tools to evaluate image tampering are great to police, but the problem is in the evaluation of said images. Robust quantitative approaches are needed to substitute traditional methods (i.e. westerns) that lack quantitation. And if images need to be taken, then quantitative approaches should be used to assess the images (numbers don't lie, but I am bias).
Anyways, thanks for a great friday read. keep'em coming!
