The anti-science crowd will be all over this like a dirty shirt. But what they will miss (again) is the fact that when possible fraud is uncovered in science, scientists will not close ranks to protect one of 'their own', they will turn on the traitor faster than you can say 'lying bastard!' Read the comments from scientists in this article.

| Also don't forget scientists are usually the ones to catch the dirty lying liars. |

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

Innocent until accused in the press. A single retracted paper does not constitute evidence of malpractice. I'd rather wait for the official investigation to conclude and be made public. There almost has to be a good reason for them keeping the lid on at the moment.

Cant' wait until good ol' Vox gets his hands on that. Just keep watching as his blog updates, and you'll see it, I'm sure. In the meantime, this is the kind of people he aims for:

| Look at all the scientific failures in the last 75 years. Start with East Anglia. I personally have no respect for scientists at all. Absolutely none. I would be ashamed if one of my kids was a scientist in academia. |
There is one very bad taste joke in there against women. Guess what? No one calls it out.
Edit:
Yep, Vox weighs in on this, just as I expected.

Harvard Dean Confirms Misconduct in Hauser Investigation:In an e-mail sent earlier today to Harvard University faculty members, Michael Smith, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), confirms that cognitive scientist Marc Hauser "was found solely responsible, after a thorough investigation by a faculty member investigating committee, for eight instances of scientific misconduct under FAS standards." |

Update on the Hauser case:The Times reports that some colleagues are now coming to Hauser’s defense, a journal editor who accused him of fraud is backing off, and a critical experiment, whose results seemed fraudulent, may show nothing more than carelessness in setting up the protocol.
The article contains a good deal of special pleading about the experiments by Hauser, and I suppose that this may all be some sort of ghastly misunderstanding. It’s a mess, and the investigation by the government’s Office of Research Integrity could take years. |

Another case of scientific fraud?
