  • A 2017 Slate column humorously suggested retracting a paper could lead to a Nobel Prize, and indeed many Nobel laureates have retracted papers.
  • List includes Nobel winners with retractions: Gregg Semenza (15 retractions), David Baltimore (3), Linda Buck (3), Max Planck (2), and others like Frances Arnold and Shinya Yamanaka with one each.
  • Notes mention Georg Wittig's letter retracting findings, Shinya Yamanaka taking responsibility for lab misconduct, and Willibrord Schultz with 6 retractions who won an Ig Nobel award.
