Plagiarism (stealing): Reporting as one’s own the work of another. Research Misconduct: An International Problem Stem cells: Hwang Woo-suk (Korea) Oral cancer: Jon Sudbø (Norway) Menopause: Eric Poehlman (U.S.) FEDERAL DEFINITION OF MISCONDUCT Research misconduct is defined as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results. A finding of research misconduct requires that there be a significant departure from accepted practices of the relevant scientific community. US Office of Science and Technology Policy December 6, 2000 Cell (1988): If you have wanted a book to recommend to science students that will explain what being a scientist actually involves, this is it.

Scientists observe and collect facts about the world. 2. Scientists use the scientific method to make discoveries (justify discoveries). 3. Scientists are dispassionate, impartial, and altruistic observers. The Ambiguous View of Science Responsible Science, Vol I: The selective use of research data is another area where the boundary between fabrication and creative insight may not be obvious. (National Academy Press, 1992) Nobel laureate Robert A. Millikan selected 58 out of 140 oil drops from which he calculated the value of the charge of the electron. Discovery Discovery is hard to accomplish. Failure is frequent. The pressure to produce is great. Meno: How will you look for it Socrates, when you do not know at all what it is? Noticing 1.

Is it worth solving? Can I do it? Experimental Design Explicit assumptions determine the question. Implicit assumptions determine the methodology and therefore limit the possible results. (Plato revisited) The principle of limited sloppiness Max Delbrück Because of ambiguity we sometimes do more than we intend (serendipity). The Meaning of Data At the edge of discovery, how does one distinguish data from noise? Heuristic principles helpful but in the end experience and intuition (creative insight) determine what counts and what does not. DATA 1 Data 1 DATA 2 Data 2 DATA 3 Data 3 DATA 4 Data 4 Saint Matthew by Michelangelo 1. Scientific discovery is like artistic creativity. 2. The artist can stop with his/her completed piece. 3. For the scientist, completing the piece is only the beginning. Credibility Objectivity is a goal, not a condition, for science. Individual investigators do proto- science. Scientific communities accept or reject the work as being scientific. The Problem of Subjectivity The False Mirror, René Magritte, 1928 Individuals aim to be objective but their observations may be illusions or instances of self-deception. Seeking Objectivity Transcend subjectivity by becoming intersubjective - reciprocity of perspectives – you can do/see/think it too. Making a discovery claim public invites verification and validation. Perspicacity René Magritte, 1936 Albert Szent-Györgyi’s prescription for discovery -- seeing what everybody else has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought. Ignoring Collegial Skepticism Novelty challenges intersubjectivity. Consequence can be rejection of papers and grants. Success requires becoming an advocate for one's work. Rejection of manuscripts reporting Nobel Prize-winning methods: Science rejected radioimmunoassay and polymerase chain reaction. Cell rejected site-directed mutagenesis. Nature rejected monoclonal antibodies although agreed to publish a markedly shortened version of the work as a letter. When the evidence in support the cycle seemed sufficient, I believed that the work might be of general interest and on 10 June 1937 I sent a ‘letter’ to the Editor of Nature. The paper was returned to me five days later accompanied by a letter of rejection… Two weeks later, I sent the full paper to the journal Enzymologia in Holland and it was published in two months. Hans Krebs on Nature’s rejection of his paper describing the citric acid cycle (Reminiscences and Reflections, 1981), Nobel Prize in 1953 Credibility Happens to a Discovery Ribozymes Prions Cold fusion Transposable elements N-rays Polywater Prions Ribozymes Cold fusion Transposable elements N-rays Polywater Credibility of discovery claims are judged first (initial peer review) according to quality, interpretation, relevance. Subsequently, credibility happens to a discovery claim. The discovery becomes credible, is made credible by events … Its verity is the process of veri-fication. Its validity is the process of valid- ation. (adapted from W. James, Pragmatism) The Scientific Method In Practice • Choosing to test a hypothesis means making an investment of time, energy, and money. • Doing the studies and collecting the data doesn’t mean that the important results will be noticed. What counts for data one day may appear to be noise the next. • If results don’t agree with expectations, it may be because the hypothesis is wrong or because the method is wrong. Don’t give up a good hypothesis just because the data don’t fit. •Just because a discovery claim is greeted with skepticism (rejection) doesn’t mean that it is wrong. Success requires commitment and entails risk. (T)here is no such thing as a Scientific Mind. There is no such thing as The Scientific Method. The idea of naïve or innocent observation is philosophers’ make- believe. Peter Medawar (1982) Pluto's Republic What about the idea that science advances by falsification of hypotheses? An intellectual rather than practical commitment – being open to the possibility that one’s discovery claims/hypotheses are wrong. Science gives up Truth for credibility. Where does the linear view of science originate? Research Papers : Scientific Short Stories Different Types of Experiments Don’t work: Learning what not to do next time Heuristic: Learning something new Demonstrative: Convincing others it’s correct The Discovery of mRNA We were to do very long, very arduous experiments . But nothing worked. We had tremendous technical problems . Full of energy and excitement, sure of the correctness of our hypothesis, we started our experiment over and over again. Francois Jacob, The Statue Within The Beach Our confidence crumbled. we found ourselves lying limply on a beach, vacantly gazing at the huge waves of the Pacific crashing onto the sand. Only a few days were left before the inevitable end. But should we keep on? What was the use? . Suddenly, Sydney gives a shout. He leaps up, yelling, "The magnesium! It's the magnesium!" . (We) race to the lab to run the experiment one last time. The Paper - Results The bulk of the RNA synthesized after infection is found in the ribosome fraction, provided that the extraction is carried out in 0.01 M magnesiun ions12 Lowering of the magnesium concentration in the gradient, or dialyzing the particles against low magnesium… the radioactive RNA leaves the B band … (Brenner et al., 1961) (W)riting a paper is to substitute order for the disorder and agitation that animate life in the laboratory . To replace the real order of events and discoveries by what appears as the logical order, the one that should have been followed if the conclusions were known from the start. Francois Jacob, The Statue Within Is the Scientific Paper a Fraud? (The scientific paper is) a totally mistaken conception, even a travesty, of the nature of scientific thought. The inductive format of the scientific paper should be discarded. Sir Peter Medawar Research papers: Edited scientific record Research notebooks: Historical scientific record (To) get some work accepted and a new way of thinking adopted, it is necessary to purify the research of all affective or irrational dross. To get rid of any personal scent, any human smell. F.

  • Warburg Effect(S)—A Biographical Sketch of Otto Warburg and His Impacts on Tumor Metabolism Angela M
    Otto Cancer & Metabolism (2016) 4:5 DOI 10.1186/s40170-016-0145-9 REVIEW Open Access Warburg effect(s)—a biographical sketch of Otto Warburg and his impacts on tumor metabolism Angela M. Otto Abstract Virtually everyone working in cancer research is familiar with the “Warburg effect”, i.e., anaerobic glycolysis in the presence of oxygen in tumor cells. However, few people nowadays are aware of what lead Otto Warburg to the discovery of this observation and how his other scientific contributions are seminal to our present knowledge of metabolic and energetic processes in cells. Since science is a human endeavor, and a scientist is imbedded in a network of social and academic contacts, it is worth taking a glimpse into the biography of Otto Warburg to illustrate some of these influences and the historical landmarks in his life. His creative and innovative thinking and his experimental virtuosity set the framework for his scientific achievements, which were pioneering not only for cancer research. Here, I shall allude to the prestigious family background in imperial Germany; his relationships to Einstein, Meyerhof, Krebs, and other Nobel and notable scientists; his innovative technical developments and their applications in the advancement of biomedical sciences, including the manometer, tissue slicing, and cell cultivation. The latter were experimental prerequisites for the first metabolic measurements with tumor cells in the 1920s. In the 1930s–1940s, he improved spectrophotometry for chemical analysis and developed the optical tests for measuring activities of glycolytic enzymes. Warburg’s reputation brought him invitations to the USA and contacts with the Rockefeller Foundation; he received the Nobel Prize in 1931.

  • Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library the Chain Papers*
    Medical History, 1983, 27:434-435 ILLUSTRATIONS FROM THE WELLCOME INSTITUTE LIBRARY THE CHAIN PAPERS* THE three men who shared the Nobel Prize in October 1945 for their work on penicillin could scarcely have differed more in their backgrounds and characters. Fleming was sixty-four years old by then; the son of a Scottish farmer, he was a retiring man, not given to conversation. By contrast, Florey, then aged forty-seven, was the son of a wealthy Australian boot and shoe manufacturer; aggressively ambitious, his achievements and intellect were later to secure him the Presidency of the Royal Society. Then there was Chain - a mere thirty-nine years old - a Jewish refugee of Russian origin, who still had major work on penicillin ahead of him; his ambition was mixed with an independence and volubility that was to lead him into conflict with the scientific/medical establishment. Fleming has been the subject of many biographies, mostly hagiographical. Florey's role in the penicillin story was recently reassessed in Gwyn Macfarlane's excellent Howard Florey. The making ofa great scientist (Oxford University Press, 1979). Sir Ernst Boris Chain died in 1979, and his biography is being written by Ronald W. Clark. This, together with future research on Chain's papers, will enable a fuller assessment to be made of the role and character of the youngest of the three scientists. The Chain papers, recently given by Lady Chain to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre, form an extensive collection of some sixty-nine boxes, comprising material from Chain's personal and professional life.

  • Integrity and Values in Science
    1 Integrity and Values in Science Fred C. Martin, Retired Washington State Department of Natural Resources Olympia, Washington 2 Preamble • “That is the idea that we all hope you have learned in studying science in school—we never explicitly say what this is, but just hope that you catch on by all the examples of scientific investigation.” Richard Feynman. • "At times I even persuade myself that I can glimpse some of the answers, but this is a common delusion experienced by anyone who dwells too long on a single problem.“ Francis Crick. • “The secret to real happiness is low expectations.” Barry Schwartz. Science as an Emergent Property “… the conditions for the success of science are the values of man which science would have had to invent afresh if man had not otherwise known them ...” J. Bronowski. • Honesty • Tolerance • Self–respect • Independence • Imagination Post-Truth – Skepticism & Denial • “Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.” Ludwig Wittgenstein. • "Thinking is to humans as swimming is to cats; they can do it but they’d prefer not to." Daniel Kahneman. • "Intellectual rigor annoys people because it interferes with the pleasure they derive from allowing their wishes to be the fathers of their thoughts." George Will. Post-Truth – Personal Belief Trumps Facts • “… the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Issac Asimov. • "... it is so much easier, mentally and emotionally, to take one side and hold to it tenaciously than to admit complexity and ambiguity; to start by believing, and fit evidence into that belief, rather than start by disbelieving, and seek the best evidence that confirms and disconfirms that belief."

(Ortho), M.A.* Senior Lecturer, School of Humanities (Program in History of Medicine), University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, and University of New England, Armidale, New South Wales, Australia ABSTRACT Otto Heinrich Warburg (1883–1970; not to be confused with the Zionist of the same name) was a member of an illustrious Jewish family, known for some five centuries. From humble beginnings, the family became prominent in the world for their contributions to all aspects of society. The son of a German mother and a Jewish (converted) father, Otto H. Warburg became a major contributor to medical science in the field of cancer research. Considered for Nobel Prize more than once, he finally received it in 1931 for his discovery of the nature and mode of action of the cellular respiratory enzyme.
