Richard Lenski is best known for his 20 year old E. coli experiment in which he claims to have observed the [[theory of evolution]] in practice, saying that bacteria made minor changes in the long-term laboratory study, insisting that it was not due to contamination.  The 2008 paper he co-authored was [[peer review]]ed in 14 days, sparking obvious questions regarding potential problems <ref>See [[Conservapedia talk:Lenski dialog]].</ref> about the thoroughness of the review.  The statistical analysis in Lenski's paper has been criticized by Conservapedia for having serious flaws.<ref>See [[Flaws in Lenski Study]].</ref>
