Let me remember that one of the signatories was the author of the op-ed "Otín, el cisne hereje y la Santa Inquisición"
http://bit.ly/3uHOh1g
where the University of #Oviedo was resembled as stinky place and a pond where the ducks -university professors- splashed in their own shit,while a white swan flies over it.It wasn't long before a comment appeared on the op-ed describing those of us who raised our voices against the charlatan as "Saracens."
#Oviedo: viejos,fascistas,neoNazis y castañuelas
Otín, el cisne hereje y la Santa Inquisición

Una fábula para explicar lo que ha vivido el bioquímico astur-oscense y el papel jugado por la Universidad de Oviedo

La Nueva España
Carlos López Otín scandal begins with a merit competition for a chair in Dpt. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of University of #Oviedo
Dr. Sánchez Lazo,who created Dpt. is the "godfather" of a professor and Otín intends it to be for a close friend of his who is the one who finally obtained it.People of Dpt. itself are the ones who leaked all the rot that ends in PhD. graduate's suicide,9 retracted papers,,a withdrawn mentorship award and some 6,000 gen modified mice euthanized in Bioterium
Even though 7 or 8 years since that merit contest at University of Oviedo and 4 since scandal broke out in Spanish media have passed and lots of people have been entangled in this network of corruption, threats and coercion,majority have not yet found out what happened.
It's the Spanish university,folks
For one year,Rector Ignacio Villaverde has become target of one of these groups of University of #Oviedo They're dangerous people,deeply fanatical,who resort in their press op-eds to images of Spanish #Fascism and Catholic fundamentalism
-martyrdom,genetic evilness, Saracens,persecution for ideas and beliefs- seeking to arouse hatred.López Otín is wrong in seeking to tear down his rector coz his work at head of University has been good,got funds for institution and he has keys to what happened.

According to Asturian #Fascist media, 65 yo Carlos López Otín,
full professor of #Biochemistry and Molecular #Biology at University of #Oviedo who had to retract 9 papers on figure and raw data issues,was involved in a plot of opacity regarding the euthanasia of 6,000 genetically modified mice in the University's bioterium and coercion and blackmail of those who reported opacity in the matter will retire on December 15
We are therefore in a countdown.

In Spain,professors and full-professors can avoid forced retirement with status of emeritus by contract with University for 4 years reaching the age of 70 Afterwards they can prolong the matter as an extraordinary collaborator or promoting to Honorary Professor of University if Rector agrees.
They usually reach 72 yo and some die with their asses attached to their professorship. The matter is not trivial because a professor receives between 3,000 and 6,000 euros per month from Spanish State.
While this is happening at the University of #Oviedo with full-professor López Otín's retirement, at University of Sevilla, non-official professors receive 600 euros per month for teaching classes.
Most job offers are not filled. Remember that in the European Higher Education Area -launched in 2010 March- a university teacher has completed a four-year degree, a one- or two-year master's degree and a doctoral program that usually lasts 4 years and that many Ph.D. students abandon.
In Spain,#BabyBoom generation is those born between 1958 and 1975.Spanish boomers flocked to #HighSchools and universities and well-paid teaching positions were created for preceding generations.Since 1975,#Spain has suffered brutal unemployment figures,average of 20% and peaks in localities and cohorts of 40%.Spain is in demographic winter,with empty classrooms at Spanish universities It's an indebted institution populated by morons and of which only its real estate assets are of interest
How was this immense mirage cooked in #Spain in the 70s?
Our parents thought that an university degree would prevent us,their children from not going thru misery and hunger that they went through after Spanish Civil War while most of us were told that our #Physicists, #Mathematicians,#Biologists and #Engineers would lead the world. Truth is that #Intel dominated microprocessors,#Microsoft dominated software,and #Apple created the #iPhone.
All cheap products are produced in #China and imported.
As you can understand, I don't give a shit whether Carlos López Otín gets emeritus status for his or not coz it's the umpteenth lie of an institution -university of #Oviedo rotten to the core.
Otín has enough support in the Department of #Biochemistry
-most of those who have a seat there owe it to him- to achieve his emeritus status. His problem is that he wants something else that he can't get. Now his enemy is Ignacio Villaverde, the rector of the University of Oviedo. Well...
López Otín will travel and stay in #Paris doing who knows what
His figure, howling, swinging from lamp to lamp at #LaSorbonne cielings, will be like a low-budget version of "Le Fantôme de l'Opéra" with Guido and Laurence
Worse songs, NO #BlockBusters

The surprise for #ForBetterScience will be to discover something I already know: In #Spain NOTHING EVER ENDS.
