I think the whole Alzheimer's research world would have benefitted from this kind of honesty.

Ok Mohammad I think you bought yourself a ticket to expanding on that thought? I'd be glad to post it here it the comments.  
 
Hillary, you should read it, I am finding it to be thought provoking and worth the time.

Hi Mark, Thanks for another of your insightful blog posts. This post makes me think about one of my recent cover crop papers where I confessed one of my research mistakes. It's one that I believe that many, if not most, cover crop researchers have made. In the paper I told the story of how I discovered the mistake. Below are links to the paper and video that I made on this issue. Admitting and correcting our research mistakes, particularly once they are published, is critical if we truly care about our research and those that can benefits from it. It also protects our reputation. On my web site I have a section where you can download my papers and see a list of my published mistakes and corrections (i.e., Errata; see last link below).  
Take care, Eric
