Bad flow cytometry papers needed

Dear Flowers,

I think part of the cytometry teaching would be easier if instead of
telling the students what they should do I would tell them what they should
not do. (For some strange reason people tend to keep this better in mind)
Unfortunately I have not many real life examples to show them. So I wonder
if somebody knows some papers which I could put as bad examples. (wrong
statistics, wrong compensation, wrong dies, misinterpreted data, wrong
controls  etc. etc.)

It is very difficult making a Medline search using those terms :-)

It would be great if I had some examples of mistakes that my students would
not anymore need to do themselves.

(Do not hesitate to mention your own papers as this may also be a way to
increase your citation index :-) )

Perhaps you should send the references to me directly, so nobody will get
too annoyed


Thank you in advance

Claudio
