The book describes a true and detailed account of a scientific
misconduct case involving two department chairmen in a major
medical school, the whistle blowing that exposed their misdeeds,
the attempts of cover-up by the university administration and the
retaliatory actions of the administration against the
whistleblower. The book also describes how the leadership of one of
the largest scientific societies in the US has chosen not to
investigate a charge of signature forgery on a Society's form . of
the chairmen involved in the scientific misconduct case described
in the book. While experts on the topic continuously assuring the
public that scientific misconduct continues to be newsworthy
because it continues to be rare, no one really knows whether such
rarity is due only to a few bad apples or to a successful cover-up
by university administrators whose job is to protect their
institution's reputation and to assure the continuation of
extramural research funding. scientist and the university that is
benefiting from his research grants, the lone whistleblower finds
himself even more isolated and against much larger forces, and
ultimately, he/she pays a much greater price for blowing the
whistle. This book thus exposes for the first time the length to
which administrations of some academic institutions are willing to
go to prevent the public from hearing about the misdeeds
perpetrated by some of their scientists.
