Nester University of Washington Mary Jane Osbom University of Connecticut Health Center School of Medicine Melvin I. Simon California Institute of Technology 4 Preface , his report from the colloquium on “Dynamic Issues in Scientific Integrity: Collaborative Research” is published by the American Academy of T Microbiology which provides summary statements on timely and impor- tant issues for scientists, governmental agencies, industry, and the public. The Academy focuses on issues that have broad implications for society. This colloquium convened 12 individuals who have significant experience with the issues under consideration. The colloquium was supported by the National Science Foundation and the American Society for Microbiology. This white paper includes an in-depth analysis of the issues and recommenda- tions to individuals involved in teaching courses in scientific integrity, to the broad microbiology community, to policy makers who have concerns about collaborative scientific research, and to the lay public. Scientific societies, as well as academic institutions, have sponsored workshops and forums that have addressed the entire spectrum of issues in scientific integrity. -

Yet enveloped within it is the story of a dramatic life. It is 1998 and I have come to this isolated spot to renew an old friendship, perhaps to find out something about myself, and cer- tainly to explore a mystery.
