"For example, I was sitting at my side of the desk working, and he asked me to tell him about my problem. A few minutes later, I was forced to interrupt my work to go grocery shopping, because the household chores fell to me. As soon as I returned with bread and milk, Sasha excitedly told me the solution to my problem. It made me feel stupid, as if I should have solved it while I was waiting in the line for bread and milk. That feeling blocked out all the other feelings I should have been noticing, such as frustration and annoyance with Sasha.

Without his interference, I would have happily solved the problem myself. I was about to start my serious research, but I worried that I’d end up as a supplier of new problems for his papers.

You might wonder why I didn’t stop sharing my math with Sasha. But at that time, I wasn’t very in touch with my feelings and I prided myself on being a logical person. The idea that a husband and wife would discuss their work together seemed logical. Besides, even though I wasn’t particularly interested, Sasha was always ready to tell me about his math problems. It seemed important for me to be fair and to reciprocate. So I was stuck in a situation I didn’t know how to resolve."

Laws Every Scout Should Know

https://troop161ma.wordpress.com/2026/06/26/laws-every-scout-should-know/

French science communicator Étienne Klein has lost his PhD after 26 years following allegations of plagiarism. However, it shouldn't have taken that long.

What’s the French for Schadenfreude?

Once upon a time – in the summer of 2022 – I posted a silly little joke on Twitter (before I left there, obviously):

I thought a few people might find it funny, but it took off beyond my expectations. By my standards over 5000 “likes” counts as “going viral” (as you young people say). Most people saw the joke immediately – if you don’t get it, the image is of a slice of choriz,o not an astronomical object – and some even joined in with puns and other jokes. Even funnier, some respondents earnestly shared their devastating insight that it was chorizo (or some variant thereof). I honestly didn’t think anyone would think that I was seriously trying to pass it off as a JWST picture; it was just meant to be silly. But there you go. That’s Twitter. I should also report that some people looked at the rainbow flags in my profile and proceeded to indulge in some homophobic abuse. That’s Twitter too.

Anyway, the day after I posted the image it seems a prominent French physicist called Etienne Klein who has many times more Twitter followers than I ever did, posted an embellished version of the same joke.

To cut a long story short that led to ChorizoGate, a story which made it into numerous newspapers, from the Daily Star to The Times, and even got coverage on CNN News and the RTÉ website. More exciting and even Physics World! In nearly all the stories I’ve seen, the image, together with the JWST connection, is attributed to Étienne Klein who is apparently very well known in France as a popularizer of science in the French language. Because he writes and broadcasts in French he is not so well known outside France.

In a post on this affair at the time, I said

To be honest I’m quite relieved to have avoided the media notoriety surrounding ChorizoGate, especially as it means I’ve avoided being on the front page of the Daily Star! Dr Klein is welcome to the publicity, though perhaps it might backfire on him…

And backfire it has.

Étienne Klein’s appropriation of a silly joke was of no consequence, but at the time I couldn’t help wondering how someone who would do that might behave with things that actually matter. Now I know the answer, and it’s more than worrying. An investigation into the PhD thesis of Etienne Klein by Paris Cité University has concluded that there is extensive evidence of plagiarism in it. Who needs AI when you have Etienne Klein? The University has now decided to rescind Klein’s doctorate, which was awarded in 1999.

What’s the French for Schadenfreude?

❗Update on Plagiarism and Falsification in Scientific Publications

Today, I officially submitted requests for the retraction of articles to the editorial boards of the journals "Land Reclamation and Water Management" and "Bulletin of NUWM".

❗Key facts of misconduct:
🔹 Plagiarism: Unauthorized use of my original relief map (2015) without citation.
🔹 Falsification: Intentional removal (retouching) of the author’s stamp with coordinates and date-time on site photographs.
🔹 Duplication: Publication of identical material in 2021 and 2024.

Next steps:
In the event of attempts to covertly remove the articles without an official retraction notice, relevant complaints will be forwarded directly to @crossref and the international members of the editorial boards.

One year ago, the news broadcasted clips and images from that video without credit. Even though that incident is long behind me, I've come to realise just how pervasive a problem this actually is. Join me as I delve into the rabbit hole of haphazard journalism and its impact on online creators.

Anton LaVey plagiarized* "Might Is Right" for "The Satanic Bible" — here's the proof

https://queersatanic.com/anton-lavey-plagiarized-might-is-right-heres-the-proof

Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, directly lifted passages from the 19th century proto-fascist book "Might Is Right" by “Ragnar Redbeard” (Arthur Desmond) and did so extensively and without credit to produce a substantial part of LaVey’s most famous and popular work "The Satanic Bible".

This has been known for a very long while, although most Satanists tend not to be aware of just how shamelessly and thoroughly this work was done.

This article demonstrates exactly that.
