Well, I wouldn't argue, but I would rather say that she has made it even harder for the next person who tries to prove BF exists through anything other than the presentation of a cadaver.
I don't care what Bryan Sykes produces in terms of results, but the contrast between what will be a properly written science paper and MK's effort will be delicious.

Here's another good summary of the problems with the entire fiasco.

Yes, sorry if I was ambiguous about that. Resident skeptics are appropriately skewering it, just not me 'cause I'm just too busy this week. Other members seem non-plussed or disillusioned, and some folks are thinking there must be *something* there of note, but agree that the whole thing is pretty sketchy. I haven't seen any Ketchum champions in the comments there, so I wonder where this thing is actually getting any positive play.

Um, to have epigenomics wouldn't you have to have identified living cells to do the research on? Or is this just one of those speculative things like when you and the rest of your medical school roommates are having a bull session at three in the morning? Because I gotta say I've always enjoyed those bull sessions but no one really takes what was said seriously the next day.
I guess you'd probably have to go to her Facebook friends for that. Or maybe around MK's breakfast table.

It's BigFoot ~ Anything about it is a joke as most here know, anyone that takes this crap seriously or thinks we here do, needs to be kicked by a bull.

When I see her initials used I always think of MK Davis. The similarities don't stop with their initials.
DeNovo, celebrating its 11th day of existence, now fleshes out its referee link, and tells us in English-as-a-1.2nd-language that there is a (emphasis added):
It is perhaps just as well that there are currently no 'needy" "items." I, for one, do not choose/desire, desire, or understand. I also think that, for the present, the Foundation should focus its research on the use of apostrophes and capitalization, the meaning of "tautology," and other aspects of English usage. This would perhaps allow the Foundation to, you know, more closely imitate an actual scientific organization/journal. I could be wrong.
(who knew there was a foundation?) that
I think it is good to focus research efforts on research. I could be wrong (vide infra).

It's not really a bad site if you were just messing around and wanted a web page to show off your stuff or are just practicing building one, but for what is supposed to be a professional site to attract scientists, etc, it doesn't even come close, some of the footers web sites blow that site away, if anyone falls for that they deserve what they get for being so naive and dam right stupid, but we are talking about BF so I guess stupid fits right in ~

The website is almost like an Onion parody of a science journal, but without the wit, humor, intelligence, irony or insight. Not to mention science.
In other words, what one might expect from Melba Ketchum (DVM).

I'll call it "No Shame Footin" she took in so much cash and this is what she gives back for a product, this is either a scam within a scam within a hoax or it is bordering on criminal, I know we live in a great country and our free speech and rights are protected, but ain't this kinda like an internet scam set up just for profit.

After this last storm and 5 days without power I really needed a laugh. "Thanks Melba you made me laugh again just when I needed it"

So let's see, Smeja caps off a couple of bf's and holds the baby-foot in his arms as it dies. Why not bring poor baby-foot back with you? I mean, you had in your arms. Just run with it, but noooooooooooo. He leaves it there. Why? You already took down some, why be afraid to notch your gun with some more? He's on a roll. I seen this train wreck coming for weeks.
