Hi all,
Like everyone else, I was appalled.
My two cents worth: Nature and Science are not scientific journals in
the strict sense of the term. They are more like magazines (I won't go
all the way to say "tabloids"), and as such will do anything to publish
what seems to be hot. And will reject very good scientific papers. So
it's not a surprise that retractions affect magazines such as Science
and Nature.
Fred.
