A newly discovered bacterium, Uabimicrobium helgolandensis, eats other bacteria and is a kind of 'bacteria of prey,' that should not even exist based on previous concepts about microbial cells. It could be a kind of microbial missing link, researchers suggest.

Have you ever thought about questionable research practices (QRPs) in academia?
The Retraction Watch team have highlighted this new paper in PLoSOne that has a systematic analysis. The authors identify 25 QRPs and then survey a lot of academics.
The results are interesting, widespread use of QRPs, sort of a grey area of acedemic behaviour, with some explanatory factors.
I'm bookmarking this for future use.
