The Aftermath of Scientific Fraud
What is this about?
Scientific fraud became front-page news at the end of last year, when South Korean stem cell researcher, Woo Suk Hwang, admitted to fabricating data about cloned human embryonic stem cell lines that he claimed were created from patients. Much of the press coverage focused on the fallout of Hwang's actions on the public's trust in science and the already fragile image of stem cell research[1].
Why is this important?
But looking beyond the headlines, the repercussions of scientific misconduct also resonate on a more personal level[1].
