As the Herald-Leader’s Linda Blackford reported, Everson has lost his job, his research and his career since he alerted the dean of the UK College of Medicine to Smart’s false data in 2009. Smart resigned but not before he was recommended for another job and a letter about his probation for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment disappeared from his personnel file. Institutional responsibility and human dignity? Indeed, the picture that arises is of a research community driven not by scientific inquiry but by ability to bring in money, of research assistants who rely upon the success and favor of their superstar bosses to advance, so much so that they’re reluctant to com- plain about long hours, harassment, or even fudging the data. This picture is especially troubling now, with the push to get more bright young students interested in science. It also presents an ugly face at a time when science is questioned among policy makers.
