摘要:
My phone rang after I boarded a plane at the Amsterdam airport, on my way to visit family in the Philippines. It was my former Ph.D. adviser calling to tell me a preprint had just been posted that identified flaws in a paper we'd published in Nature looking at how forestry practices affect streamflow. My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique were demanding a retraction. We couldn't talk long-the plane soon took off. I spent the 16-hour flight processing a mix of emotions-disbelief, embarrassment, frustration-and wondering what this would mean for my career.
