" It must have been a Jedi mind trick.

A neurology expert has revealed they were able to convince a trio of medical journals to publish their Star Wars-themed 'fake' manuscript, despite it being packed full of references to George Lucas' iconic series.

The author, who writes online under the name Neuroskeptic, said their paper titled 'Mitochondria: Structure, Function and Clinical Relevance' was poorly written and 'an absurd mess of factual errors, plagiarism and movie quotes'...

'So I created a spoof manuscript about "midi-chlorians" - the fictional entities which live inside cells and give Jedi their powers in Star Wars.

'I filled it with other references to the galaxy far, far away, and submitted it to nine journals under the names of Dr Lucas McGeorge and Dr Annette Kin.'

The name of the authors given in the fake piece are thinly-veiled references to Lucas - Star Wars' creator - and Anakin Skywalker.

Neuroskeptic went on in their blog post to explain the paper was picked up by four different journals - the American Journal of Medical and Biological Research, the International Journal of Molecular Biology: Open Access, the Austin Journal of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, and American Research Journal of Biosciences."

How's their midichloria these days?

The whole midichlorian thing was a bonehead spin from the very first. Director J.J. Abrams has stated that the word "midichlorian" will never again be uttered in another S.W. movie.

Hey, I joined SF only one day before you.

And we wonder how gun banners get fake studies on "gun violence" published, leading to the Fake News Industrial Complex creating public policy by way of news release from the Soros/Bloomberg gun banners hyping their fake studies.

More than ever, we are living in uncertain times. Literally, nothing read, seen or heard can be fully trusted.

Medical literature had been shit for years. Too many journals, too much competition, too much crap science. Its just like the msm, too many hours, not enough hard news.
