abstract
  • Richard Lenski is a professor of microbial ecology at Michigan State University. He holds a B.A. from Oberlin College (but does not disclose his field of study in his biographical sketch), and a doctorate in zoology from the University of North Carolina. When Lenski started graduate school at UNC in 1977, his father, professor Gerhard Lenski, was the Chair of the Division of Social Sciences at the same school. Richard Lenski is best known for his 20-year old E. coli experiment in which he claims to have captured evolution in progress, saying that bacteria made minor changes in the long-term laboratory study while insisting that it was not due to contamination. The 2008 paper he co-authored was peer reviewed in 14 days, sparking obvious questions regarding potential problems about the thoroughness of the review. The statistical analysis in Lenski's paper has been criticized for having serious flaws. When Richard Lenski received a public request for the data underlying for his published claims, he did not provide the actual data even though his study was taxpayer-funded and even though the request was made in part to enable review of the data by students of the requestor. Undisclosed or obscured data for Lenski's 2008 paper are noted below (pp. 2-3 from paper, superscripts omitted):
