Stanford President Resigns Over Research Flaws, Manipulation

Stanford University president Marc Tessier-Lavigne resigned after an independent review found flaws in studies he supervised.
The review cleared Tessier-Lavigne of fraud but found serious issues in data presentation and manipulation by others in his lab.
Tessier-Lavigne acknowledged insufficient diligence in correcting the record and will retract three papers and correct two.
Misconduct allegations were initially raised on PubPeer and in the Stanford Daily student newspaper.
Richard Saller will serve as interim president; Tessier-Lavigne remains as a biology professor.
