Dr. Melba Ketchum's Bigfoot DNA Allegedly Passed Peer Review, But No One's Buying It


So, last night, Dr. Melba Ketchum's alleged peer reviewed paper was "leaked". According to a leaked email, the paper was accepted for "publication with revisions" in January 2013. This morning, after discovering that the reviews were leaked, Ketchum was pissed. She posted this on Facebook:

"I am so upset that the reviews got leaked. That means I was once again betrayed by an insider. On the up side, I feel a huge relief about it. Now I don't have to sit on this horrible secret anymore. The world now knows how unethically the scientific has behaved. It also knows that we DID pass peer review and with reviews that came from geneticists that work with whole genomes. At least that is what I was told." - Dr. Melba Ketchum

After a few hours of coming to terms with the leaked information, she followed up with this statement:

"Bottom line, Sasquatch exists. Scientifically proven and passed by peer review by other scientists."

For some, the "leak" may have been contrived. Steven Streufert, a very wise Bigfooter isn't buying any of it. He made the following comments on Facebook:

"Pretty clearly she leaked it, since she created the journal and made up the reviewers, don't you think?"

"And the stuff from NATURE... my friend tells me they would NEVER leak that kind of thing, not with their reputation and ethical standard. Clearly this came from the Ketchum camp. More fiction."

A blogger named Scott Carpenter was all giddy when he recieved the leaked peer review letter and claimed that Ketchum's paper did indeed pass peer review. His celebration ended rather quickly when a commenter posted this response:

"Scott, please. You are obviously not familiar with the peer review process. "Accept with revisions" means it did NOT pass. It means the revision has to address the points by the reviewers so that it can be accepted. After correction, addition, the review starts all over again. The outcome could still be "Nope, not like this". Besides, this information was out there in December last year already.

Source: I have published in journals myself. "

A screenshot of the leaked email is below, highlighted: "ACCEPTED for publication with revisions"

    2. She did not submit what she posted on line to Nature..If she did, they tossed it in the trash without comment:

      1.1 Articles

      Articles are original reports whose conclusions represent a substantial advance in understanding of an important problem and have immediate, far-reaching implications. They do not normally exceed 5 pages of Nature and have no more than 50 references. (One page of undiluted text is about 1,300 words.)

      Articles have a summary, separate from the main text, of up to 150 words, which does not have references, and does not contain numbers, abbreviations, acronyms or measurements unless essential. It is aimed at readers outside the discipline. This summary contains a paragraph (2-3 sentences) of basic-level introduction to the field; a brief account of the background and rationale of the work; a statement of the main conclusions (introduced by the phrase 'Here we show' or its equivalent); and finally, 2-3 sentences putting the main findings into general context so it is clear how the results described in the paper have moved the field forwards.

      Articles are typically 3,000 words of text, beginning with up to 500 words of referenced text expanding on the background to the work (some overlap with the summary is acceptable), before proceeding to a concise, focused account of the findings, ending with one or two short paragraphs of discussion.

      The text may contain a few short subheadings (not more than six in total) of no more than 40 characters each (less than one line of text in length).

      Articles typically have 5 or 6 display items (figures or tables).

  4. It is interesting to note some information posted on Facebook last night:

    According to the research by Jim R. McClanahan on his blog post at http://historum.com/blogs/ghostexorcist/1380-melba-ketchum-s-bigfoot-dna-study-questionable-ethics-creating-journal.html and Scott Carpenter on his blog at http://bf-field-journal.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-ketchum-dna-study-for-dummies.html#comment-form, the following timeline has been documented:

    1. Someone created an online page for the Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Exploration in Zoology on Scholastica (JAMEZ) on January 4, 2013. See the screen capture at http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/5421/sfirstjournalwebshotwit.png and look where the red arrow is pointing.

    2. Someone tried to create a Wikipedia article on JAMEZ on January 5, 2013. See the screen capture at http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/6498/jamezwikipediaarticlewi.png and look where the red arrow is pointing.

    3. Dr. Ketchum HERSELF registered JAMEZ on Zoobank on January 9, 2013. See a screen capture at http://www.bigfootbuzz.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/JournalReg.jpg and the registration information in the box highlighted.

    4. Dr. Ketchum told David Paulides that JAMEZ accepted her paper the SAME DAY - January 9, 2013, according to what Scott Carpenter posted on his blog.

    5. Dr. Ketchum told David Paulides on Jan. 10 that JAMEZ has retracted its acceptance, according to an e-mail from Paulides, posted on Scott Carpenter’s blog.

    This indicates that Dr. Ketchum registered this "journal" a full day BEFORE it chickened out of running her paper. Her story has been that she didn't "buy" the journal until AFTER it said it wouldn't run her paper. How could she register a Web site BEFORE she "bought" the "journal?"

    I wonder what explanation the Ketchumites will generate for this interesting revelation.

Im in college, and sometimes when I walk by, people cover their noses. They even go to the extent of sitting away from me. One person even commented, saying I smell, like a dead body. When in reality my balls naturally smell bad. It has affect my sex, and social life. I dont have an STD or anything, or an infection, they just naturally smell bad. Should I go to the doctor? I'm embarrassed to schedule an appointment with the Doc, saying my balls stink, I do not even think they will take me seriously. What can I do please help world

    24. Again, the assumption that I don't want bigfoot to exist. I don't think you understand that we would GLADLY except bigfoot if and only if there is conclusive scientific evidence. Keyword being conclusive scientific evidence... not anecdotal evidence, not hearsay, not blurry pictures, not stories, not 'just take my word for it.', real scientific evidence.

      If you can ever can provide that, I'd gladly except it until then there is nothing to show the existence of a super intelligent, highly elusive, infrasound capable, cloaking mindspeak 8ft 900lb unknown hominin walking the woods of North America.

      You do realize young children come to this blog right?

      If that link is still up I suggest it gets removed.

    26. No, young children don't come to this blog. Welcome to the internet. You're an even sicker person for suggesting pedophilia, you deranged bastard.

      Second, it's not against the TOS for me to post a link to imgur, no one forced anyone to copy and past the link into their address bar just because I showed a picture of myself. In fact, that's probably why the hyperlink option isn't available so someone HAS to copy and paste the link the address bar.

      3, I suggest you find some scientific evidence to show all of these wild claims and accusations, otherwise at this moment there is nothing to show the creature roaming the wilds of North America.

      Oh, you shot one? Where's it at? If I ever shot one, assuming they do exist, the last fucking thing I'd do is hold out for money. I'd call the news, I'd let the world know....not bury it for obscure reasons of vanity, fame, religion, or money.

      The last two films depicting a squatch that were worth anything is Patty and Freeman's footage. Now, Freeman was a known hoaxer on many different levels so that all but eliminates his film, not too mention it's only a few frames of actual footage of the subject but it's also grainy and shakey. "Oh! There he goes!" - Paul Freeman

      Well, Patty is patty and quite frankly no one from either side can conclusively prove jack squat about it. Bill Munns or not, still not conclusive. Until you actually prove the species, Patty is moot.

    38. To the commenter above who has the issue with his testicles and anus region having a ghastly odor to them; yet you are embarrassed to call the doctor and tell them that your balls and crack smell. Here is a solution: Simply call the doctor and report that you are having testicular problems. When asked for specifics, inform the nurse/receptionist that your nether-region is painful and that the testicles and testicular bag are swollen. I realize this is misleading but when you actually see the doctor you can tell the doctor that the swelling and pain have subsided but you are a man of your word and you never miss a scheduled appointment. The Doctor will immediately notice the stench rising up from your crotch area and he/she will inquire about the putrid odor. You can then reveal to the doctor that your problem has been with you for an entire lifetime and you had learned to live with the shame. Hopefully the doctor will help you like I was helped.

      I too had putrid balls, sack and anus stink that soaps, deodorants, sprays, cologne, repeated washings would not correct, I concocted the above story to get an appointment with a specialist who did in fact rid me of my horrid stench.

      Life couldn't be better now.

      Every single announcement, team, quest, project, study, group, or anything at all to do without bigfoot has resulted in yep you guessed it: FUCK ALL.

  6. This topic of paper, published, peer review, and the complete idiotic process of scientific publishing is all garbage. The whole thing is bought and paid for, including the results, by whomever tends to benefit most and is the top party at the time. Politics rears it's ugly head in all things public and private here and all over the globe now. As a fence rider on things without proof or until proven, I must admit, you better just go with your own gut until the fiasco looses steam and the parties in power change enough to be trusted(IF EVER). I spend a lot of time in the field, maybe Sasquatch will introduce himself to me someday. What a joke.

    1. Personally knowing scientists who serve on review panels, I can tell you that your initial statements are incorrect. However, the powers-that-be DO control federal research funding, which thus impacts the research efforts of scientists in the fields they choose to support or not support. They don't impact the peer-review process - they impact the research before it gets to that point. Ketchum's claim that "science" didn't want her paper to publish is poppycock.

    2. The media reflects the opinion of ownership. The opinions reflected are never based on just the facts, the monetary pluses and minuses are the most important litmus test used these days. Get used to it. We live in a world that allows the few privileged powerful people at the top to decide what as well as when we peons are to be in the know. WHO KILLED KENNEDY?, AREA 51 and the ROSWELL INCIDENT, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? Will we ever be allowed to find out? Bigfoot and mysteries of great proportion are deemed to powerful for we of lesser learning and IQ. Hell Building 7 free fell right in front of our eyes and we don't have the facts(believable) yet. Sasquatch? just a drop in the bucket of what we are not given the whole story about.

    3. Personally being involved with data collecting, checking and research, as well as fact compilation and submission, that statement is spot on. Never believe for a moment that scientist base their conclusions solely on facts presented. Certainly never believe that they are accepted if the science is good. Global warming is still discussed as if it's a hypothesis, yes among some scientist. See who's footing the bill for their research before you readily accept their conclusions. Find those without affiliation and you might be shocked at the answers you receive. I heard the same climatic scientist, hell the whole team, answer the same question three different ways. They worked for three different facilities funded by three different corps. Just because the science is good doesn't guarantee acceptance by peers either, ask Mr Galileo and countless others who stepped out first with a wild notion and good science.

Until you get a notoriously honest panel, one who has a track record and no affiliation, to take the data and sift out the real facts, the truth will be just someones own bought and paid for opinion with a corporate stamp of approval. Sorry, we are all free to have and speak our opinions, but we must not try to change the facts. I wish I had them, or knew where to look.

    8. Well Rick Dyer is a very prominent and accomplished Bigfoot researcher. He was known to study under the great procurer of evidence Tom Biscardi in the High-Yield Bigfoot Investment Opportunity of '08. In said long con, researchers in the Georgia foothills made off with a scamboogery for the ages. After swearing off the research life he appeared again in San Antonio TX with prominent documentary producers Minnow Flimflams. They researched up a dead dog, a bunch of well meaning homeless people, scant evidence and a murdered bigfoot that was promptly whisked away to a Las Vegas suburb. Of course, where else would a researcher take the much sought after evidence of an 800 lb ribs lovin monkey faced man? Multiple pigeons were taken in off Facebook as marks, as referenced by Fozzie above, the highest profile stoolie reached platinum level and an FBI investigation was rumored to have ensued. An endless parade of researchers with names like "Muskie" and "MK Davis" were brought in to cool the marks with their insightful stylings and trippings of the hoax fantastic. Nowadays Rick has again sworn to procure the body, thus trimming any new hapless marks that might wander off the street into the Bigfoot Research Commune.

  10. There are two aspects to this whole game - the science and the hoopla. There is much chatter about the publishing and who did what to whom with what. That is a load of cobblers frankly. The Ketchum paper had a raft of contributors whose reputations, and those of the institutions they worked for, are on the line. I have yet to see one critique that deals with her methodology and that of those others that did the different and many analyses for the project which shows how there were obvious flaws. There is much talk about "what might have been wrong" but no one has yet come out and said they have actually checked her physical material and explained scientificall how any of her contributors got it wrong. So, until that is done all other comments are just so much hot air because they are opinions and not based on fact. Most of what I read from the detractors is along the lines of "it could not be, therefore it can't be" nonsense. That is not science; it is drivel. So before we see more people paint themselves into a corner lets wait to see some comments by those qualified to do so and who have actually done follow up DNA analysis of her physical evidence. There is support for her work from some quarters but the jury is still out on independent verification or refuttal of her results. Until we see that, the chatter is just a waste of time.

    1. There is very very little raw data even shown in her paper, it's mostly the results. People with PHD's for 20-30 years can't follow half of her paper because of such little actual scientific data actually in it. It's just another case of 'take my word for it.'

    3. Sorry every reference to another lab associate denied working with the woman in any way and I showed her paper with college backgrounds in DNA and all have said all she has is a paper full of speculation with no proof of any DNA of an unknown hominid novel or otherwise so you need a new arguement

    7. Why do these jerk offs keep claiming that her work hasn't actually been checked argued? basically what this poster, and many others say is, there is nothing except her own speculations based on her own evidence to debate. And she won't supply any rebubtals or facts to debate. What freaking paper? She made alot of us look like assholes for following her bullshit.

    8. Beyond me man that's why I usually talk nonsense the only thing we got from someone who isn't a known hoaxer of late was daisy in a box and that was a crap fest and only made me wonder for 9 hrs or so till they went oh we aren't releasing any pics bullshit who wouldn't if they had an actual Bigfoot

    10. She won't release any of her physical evidence for anyone to analyze. When someone did analyze what was left of a sample (bear) that she wasn't able to get all of, she cries "fraud".

    11. Yes..It is ridiculous. People who believe bigfoot exists and wanted her to succeed showed her self-published web post to outside experts..Not ONE person has said "Wow, I showed it to a geneticist and they said she is on to something! They want her to speak at the college!"
      It has been blown-off/ignored and what you see now is what you will always see: The thing being bounced around the inside of our bubble while the world moves on...lol...

    1. there are two major types of idiots that keep the Bigfoot issue in the trash can of interesting mysteries. Those fools running around like little wild inbreds, whooping and sqwalling at the moon. Tree thumping idiots making friends and money off those who can't find anything fit to watch on the toob. the second is those want to be scientist/naturalist, that couldn't find and identify a COCK roach in the sewers of NY city. Yapp we got us a real team of Peter Griffins and Dale Gribbles, Friggin cartoon characters from the imaginations of assholes with nothing to do. Wow, whats the next clue Shaggy? Scooby Dooby Doo.

    3. That was a very poor article actually and not particularly intellectualy honest. I am on neither side in this debate but would like to see just the science discussed. There is a way to settle the science but no one seems interested to do what has to be done, which is to REPEAT her analysis independently and either prove the Ketchum findings right or wrong. I could not care less about the waffle being spruiked by those unqualified to comment. Ketchum handled the PR abominably and somewhere along the way the science was politicised by a rush to publish or be damned. Science has not been served well in the process. Please don't insult everyones intelligence by saying her paper has been properly refuted, because everything I have read that claims to be that turns out to be just sloppy commentary with no DNA analysis to back it up. It needs to be resolved. A thousand uninformed voices shouting "fraud" doesn't make it so. Reductio ad absurdum is the flavour of the year on this topic. Time it was resolved properly.

    4. How can it be resolved properly when she won't release the data, as she would have been required to if she pubbed in a real journal?

  20. Melba,



    It's been well over two months since I submitted my first manuscript to you for consideration for publication in DeNovo. This was done in good faith, with high hopes of acceptance. The long time lapse without communication leads me to believe that you do not intend to publish it or the second publication which is near two months out. So be it. It would have been nice to hear this from you. Your standards of professionalism in this area are way below those I am used to dealing with in serious academic scientific circles. It is not acceptable to delay publication of results you disagree with while you scurry around to CYA.



    PLEASE WITHDRAW MY TWO MANUSCRIPTS FROM CONSIDERATION FOR PUBLICATION IN DENOVO. If I have my way they will soon be in press in an open access real journal.



    Best wishes in attempting to prove the existence of sasquatch. Sorry, your first effort was unsuccessful.



    Attached is the list of 29 species of fish, including the common names, which you claimed had significant homology to one of your nuDNA sequences (you didn't specify which) and which you claimed were primates (your Supplementary Figure 5). Did you even bother to translate the Latin names to common names?

    PS It's a bear, a human, and a dog: S26, S31 and S140, respectively. Believe it and MOVE ON.
