What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 7 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2012

A blog that reports on retractions of scientific papers and the problems behind them.

The science writers Ivan Oransky and Adam Marcus launched it in August 2010. The nonprofit Center for Scientific Integrity runs it, and it won a Council of Science Editors award in 2024.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
