Baltimore case--in brief
What is this about?
Three months after a widely leaked draft report by the Office of Scientific Integrity (OSI) within the National Institutes of Health accused Tufts immunologist Thereza Imanishi-Kari of fabricating data in a 1986 Cell paper she had co-authored with Nobel laureate David Baltimore, the controversy has become, if anything, more intense. An unusual series of published statements in Nature from the principals in the case has catalyzed a bitter debate within the biomedical community.
Why is this important?
When an article is published, all authors are responsible for what is written in the paper. If the paper contains results of fabricated data, all authors will be kept responsible.
