Misconduct Ruling is Silent on Intent
What is this about?
Mavens of research ethics often insist that there is a clear difference between sloppy science and scientific fraud. But if ever there was a case that blurs that line, it is that of a high-flying evolutionary psychologist who resigned from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2011, after the university found him guilty of misconduct[1]. This is a factual case.

Why is this important?
The definition of misconduct can be interpreted in different ways.
