The Frustrations of Scientific Misconduct

Abstract
Congressman John Dingell's Shattuck Lecture on misconduct in medical research, delivered in May 1992 to the Massachusetts Medical Society, appears in this issue of the Journal1. In his lecture, Mr. Dingell is critical of scientists, officials of research institutions, and the editors of scientific journals. Since Mr. Dingell gave the address, judgments have been handed down in two cases that he pursued tenaciously for years. As the addendum to his lecture indicates, the U.S. Attorney in Baltimore formally declined to prosecute Dr. Thereza Imanishi-Kari because he thought that conflicting testimony from scientists would make it impossible for a jury . . .
