Il presidente di Stanford e importante neuroacienziato Tessier-Lavigne si dimette in seguito ad uno scandalo sui dati di alcune sue pubblicazioni. Ne parla Theo Baker su The Stanford Daily.

Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne will resign effective Aug. 31, according to communications released by the University Wednesday morning. He will also retract or issue lengthy corrections to five widely cited papers for which he was principal author after a Stanford-sponsored investigation found “manipulation of research data.”

My column on the resignation of Marc Tessier-Lavigne. Lots of problems, but one of them is scientists who think they can do big administrative jobs and run their labs at the same time. @melissakorn @tab_delete @stephaniemlee https://t.co/ln5wTbVW6l
