Scientific misconduct declaration from Harvard

  

 

Dear Colleagues and readers,

 

Definition of scientific misconduct as reproduced in the COPE* report of 1999 is the violation of the standard codes of scholarly conduct and ethical behavior in professional scientific research. When we consider doing research such in an area of neuroscience subjects as cognition, behavior and even in animals is painstaking, slow, laborious, and rarely leads to unambiguous results says primatologist Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Evolutionary psychologist Marc Hauser's research on primate cognition has been criticized and very recently Harvard University had been investigated  for scientific misconduct.  Hauser studies the evolution of key human characteristics, such as morality, language and mathematical ability, by tracing the origins of these traits in non-human primates. A popular professor and mentor, his research output has been diverse and prodigious, generating about one peer-reviewed paper per month for the past four years and forming the basis for popular articles, books and media appearances [1].

Researchers close to those involved say that the Harvard investigation, launched after three of Hauser's graduate students became troubled by how he interpreted his data and reported their concerns to the university, has discovered eight instances of misconduct. Hauser, who has taken a one-year period of leave from Harvard, has not responded to requests for comment. Harvard will not discuss its investigation, but says the results have been reported to the two federal agencies that provide funding for Hauser's work. Both the National Science Foundation and the Office of Research Integrity at the National Institutes of Health, have declined to comment on the matter, but the practice in such cases is that findings are made public only if government officials conclude that a researcher has acted improperly.
On the other hand Dr.Hauser has admitted only to unspecified "mistakes" not to misconduct. Many of his experiments involved inferring a monkey’s thoughts or expectations from its response to a sight or sound. But the technique required somewhat subjective assessments by the researcher as to whether the monkey stared longer than usual at a display or turned its head toward a loudspeaker broadcasting an unexpected sound. In his statement, Dr. Hauser, who is on a year-long leave, said: “I acknowledge that I made some significant mistakes and I am deeply disappointed that this has led to a retraction and two corrections. I also feel terrible about the concerns regarding the other five cases, which involved either unpublished work or studies in which the record was corrected before submission for publication.”[2]

Harvard University is one of the leading in research and should clearly reveal the details of their internal investigation  on this matter. Scientific misconduct  is not  a  problem of a developing country only but in all part of the globe. We have an anonymous quote in Turkish which may translate to "The fish stinks from the head" in English.

Sincerely yours,

Prof. Nezih Oktar M.D.

Harvard Üniversitesinden bilimsel kabahat açıklaması

  

 

Sevgili meslektaşlarım ve okuyucular,

 

"Bilimsel kabahat"ın tanımı, COPE'un 1999 yılında yeniden yayımladığı rapor doğrultusunda, profesyonel bilimsel araştırmada etik davranışı ve  akademik duruşun standard kurallarını ihlal etmektir. Sinir bilimlerin özellikle bilişsel ve davranış konularında ve bir de hayvanlar üzerinde bir araştırma yapıldığını düşündüğümüzde Atlanta'daki Emory Üniversitesi'nden bir primatolog olan  Frans de Waal'ın de dediği gibi bu araştırma zahmetli, yavaş, yorucu ve ender olarak sonucu kesinlik taşır. Evrimsel psikolog Marc Hauser'in maymunların bilişsel davranışları üzerinde yaptığı araştırmalar son zamanlarda çok eleştirilmekte ve son olarak da çalıştığı Üniversite olan Harvard tarafından bilimsel kabahat nedeniyle hakkında soruşturma açılmıştır.  Hauser çalışmalarında  insana özgü ana  karakteristikler olan moral, dil, ve matematik yeteneğinin evrimi ile ilgili olarak insan-olmayan primatlarda izlerini sürmektedir. Gayet tanınmış bir profesördür ve araştırma sonuçları farklı ve şaşılacak ölçüde olmuştur. Son dört yılda hemen her ay hakemli dergilerde yayını basılmıştır. Popüler makaleleri, kitapları ve medyada aşinalığı vardır [1].   

Marc Hauser 

Harvard Üniversitesinden Evrimsel psikolojist Dr.Marc Hauser 

Konuya aşina olan araştırmacıların belirttiklerine göre Hauser'in üç  öğrencisi bilimsel veriler ile olan sıkıntılarını üniversite idaresine bildirmeleri sonucu 8 adet hata tesbit edilmiştir. Harvard Üniversitesinden bir yıl uzaklaştırma cezası alan Hauser o dönemde herhangi bir yorumda bulunmamıştır. Üniversite ise soruşturma sonçlarını açıklamayacaklarınu  ancak iki federal makama durumu rapor ettiklerini bildirmekle yetinmişlerdir. Ulusal Bilim Kurulu ve Ulusal Sağlık Enstitüsündeki devlet görevlilerinin araştırmacının uygunsuz davranışının tesbiti halinde ancak durumu halka açıklayabileceklerini bildirmişlerdir. 
Öte yanda Dr. Hauser tanımlayamayacığı "hata"ları yaptığını ancak bunun kabahat olarak kabul edilemeyeceğini belirtmiştir. Çalışmalarının çoğu maymunların düşünce ve beklentilerini onların görüş ve sese yanıtları ile anlam çıkarmaya dayanmaktadır. Ancak bu teknik bir çeşit subjektif değerlendirmeleri içermekte; maymun ya beklenenden daha uzun süre bir görüntüye bakmakta ya da beklenmeyen yönden gelen sese başını çevirmektedir. Dr.Hauser "Önemli hatalar yaptığımı kabul ediyorum ve geri çekme ve iki kez düzeltme yapmam gerektiği için çok üzgünüm. Diğer üzüntü kaynağım ise beş ayrı olay için de bunların ya yayınlanmamış olması ya da yayın öncesi düzeltilmiş olmalarıdır." demiştir [2].

Harvard Üniversitesi araştırma alanında liderlerden bir tanesidir ve bu olay ile ilgili olarak iç soruşturma ayrıntılarını şeffaf bir şekilde açıklamak zorundadır. Bilimsel kabahat sadece gelişmekte olan ülkerin değil ama tüm Dünya'nın sorunudur. Bizim Türkçe'de bir deyim vardır ve İngilizce'ye de "Balık baştan kokar" diye çevrilebilir.

Sports-Related Repetitive Brain Trauma May Cause ALS-Like Disease

Robert Lowes

August 18, 2010 — Scientists have increasingly linked the head injuries common in contact sports to neurodegenerative disorders, including motor neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The link appears more convincing in light of a new study published in the September issue of the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology. Lead author Ann McKee, MD, codirector of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University, Massachusetts, and colleagues report that they have found the first pathological evidence showing that repetitive brain trauma in contact sports may be associated with motor neuron disease (MND). The evidence consisted of 2 kinds of damaged, havoc-wreaking proteins in the spinal cords of 3 professional athletes, all of whom have been diagnosed with ALS.

Cholesterol Reduction and the Brain–Heart Connection

Steven R. Levine, MD

Abstract

A post hoc analysis of SPARCL data provides additional support for the benefits of statin therapy after a stroke or transient ischemic attack, in terms of both brain and cardiac protection.

Introduction

Researchers previously reported a benefit from 80 mg of atorvastatin daily in preventing recurrent cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events over 5 years after a first stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the randomized, placebo-controlled, manufacturer-sponsored SPARCL trial (N Engl J Med 2006; 355:549; JW Cardiol Aug 30 2006). Now, the authors report subanalysis results. The 4731 participants had documented elevated LDL levels and stroke or TIA within the prior 6 months and no history or evidence of coronary heart disease (CHD). A handful of randomized patients were not included in the outcomes data for this report.

Rates of major coronary events (MCE) or any CHD endpoint were significantly lower with atorvastatin compared with placebo: Rates of MCE were 3.4% vs. 5.1%, respectively (absolute risk reduction, 1.7%; number needed to treat [NNT], 59). Rates of any CHD event were 5.2% and 8.6%, respectively (absolute risk reduction, 3.4%; NNT, 29). During the course of the study, stroke risk decreased with time but MCE risk remained stable. The rates of MCE and any CHD were similar between patients with and without carotid disease at baseline.

'Ick' Factor


Ick factor
CREDIT: DEBRA LIEBERMAN

If you've ever found yourself wrist deep in peeled grapes at a Halloween party, then a new study's results won't surprise you: Researchers have found that touch and disgust can—quite literally—go hand in hand.

Scientists consider disgust a universal emotion and think it probably evolved to help people avoid pathogens. Gagging at the smell of rotten eggs, for example, discourages hungry humans from eating spoiled food that could make them sick.

Psychologist Debra Lieberman and colleagues at the University of Miami in Florida wondered whether the often-overlooked sense of touch could elicit that icky feeling. So the team brought the classic Halloween game into the lab: They asked 50 students to touch and rate the yuckiness of wet and dry pieces of rope and dough that were hidden out of sight in boxes. The students consistently ranked the wet items as more disgusting and found the wet dough to be the grossest of all.

That's natural enough, says Lieberman, because soft, moist things have a more "biological consistency"—that is, they're more reminiscent of the wet environments in which pathogens like to live.

The study, published online 20 July in Cognition & Emotion, is the first of its kind and "makes a lot of sense," says Daniel Fessler, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. But he notes that testing a more cross-cultural selection of disgustees would strengthen the results. "We live in a society of soap and Purell," he says. "Collegeage Americans are probably the most disgust-sensitive population in the world."

Something doesn't add up

To infinity and beyond: The struggle to save arithmetic

Here's an unsettling thought. The more closely mathematicians check under the hood of arithmetic, the more convinced they've become that something doesn't quite add up – and that the only way to fix it lies deep within the idea of infinity. And here's another: is DNA profiling as rock-solid as we've come to believe? Linda Geddes exposes its shortcomings in an exclusive investigation for New Scientist. Also this week: the latest on how to slake the world's thirst, why ER is in need of major surgery and a clever way to help blind people see with sound.

University of Southern California (USC) neuroscientist Roberta Diaz Brinton was among 13 people honored at the White House last week with the 2010 Presidential Citizens Medal, the nation's second highest civilian honor. Brinton, who studies how aging and neurodegenerative disease affect the neural mechanisms of cognition, was recognized for her contributions to science and technology education.

"When I was a graduate student in neuropharmacology, I was one of the only females and the only student from a working-class background, and I was determined somehow to change that," Brinton says. After meeting a group of promising high school students whose classroom was a trailer in the back lot of a school in East Los Angeles, Brinton founded the USC STAR Program, which she has directed for the past 19 years. The program teaches elementary through high school students and their teachers about science and provides hands-on research opportunities in labs at USC.

The British Medical Journal ask for £2500 per article to pay publication fee from the author(s)

The BMJ has a new policy of asking authors of eligible research articles to pay a publication fee. It only applies when the funder has already pledged to pay for open access publication and when authors can claim the BMJ fee, in full, for that specific piece of research.

The move does not affect the journal’s publication policy. All submitted research will continue to be judged entirely on its importance, originality, quality, and relevance, and all research will remain openly accessible, regardless of whether a fee has been paid for its publication.

Psychology:

Mindless Reading

Gilbert Chin

Having gotten this far, do you remember what you read just a minute ago? Or did your eyes scan the previous five or six sentences without any of that information having been absorbed? And if you did zone out, were you aware of having done so? Reichle et al. have studied precisely this kind of behavior by developing a protocol for interrogating subjects who were reading Sense and Sensibility. One theoretical framework posits that a meta-processor oversees cognitive components that support reading (including oculomotor systems and lexical lookup) and also a default or task-decoupled network that mediates mind wandering. The authors found that people were less likely to fixate for longer durations and that their eye movements were more sensitive to parameters such as word length and frequency when they were reading attentively. On the other hand, when people were reading mindlessly, their awareness of having become decoupled from the text surfaced only after a few minutes.

 Doctors and nurses volunteer to provide urgent medical care in countries to victims of war and disaster regardless of race, religion, or politics.



Hundreds of wounded people arrived in Bishkek hospitals on April 7, following violent confrontations between armed forces and protesters in the streets of Kyrgyzstan's capital. The MSF team in Kyrgyzstan responded immediately by providing the National Hospital and the main ambulance station with emergency medical supplies and drugs bandages and other sterile material, intravenous injection sets, antibiotics and painkillers. More material and drugs are to be donated by MSF today to three health structures in the capital city.

 ULAKBIM'den DUYURU

TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM Cahit Arf Bilgi Merkezi bünyesinde geliştirilen “Ulusal Veri Tabanları (UVT)“ kapsamında, ülkemizde yayınlanan akademik süreli yayınlar uluslararası ölçütler doğrultusunda şeçilerek indekslenmektedir. Bu yolla, araştırmacıların kaliteli ulusal akademik içeriğe elektronik ortamda yaygın ve etkin erişimleri sağlanmaktadır.

 
ULAKBİM olarak, Türkçe akademik süreli yayınların
Thomson Reuters Web of Science uluslararası atıf indeksleri üzerinden erişimlerini artırmak amacıyla, yapılan ön değerlendirme çalışmaları ile UVT kapsamındaki dergiler arasından TR WoS’a dergi önerilerine bulunulmaktadır. WoS’da indekslenen  Türkçe akademik dergi sayısı Mayıs 2010 itibariyle 74’e yükselmiştir. Akademik dergilerin, gerek ULAKBİM ulusal veri tabanlarında gerekse TR WoS atıf indekslerindeki devamlılığında düzenli aralıklarla yayınlanmaları ve iletimleri kadar içerik kaliteleri ve makalelerin atıf oranları da önem taşımaktadır.

 
WoS’da indekslenen süreli yayınların listesi ve atıf bilgileri ULAKBİM Web sayfası üzerinden yayınlanmaktadır (URL: http://www.ulakbim.gov.tr/cabim/vt/uvt/isi_yayin_atif.uhtml).

 
ULAKBİM olarak, ulusal akademik süreli yayınların yayın ve atıf performanslarının ölçümlenmesi amacıyla  geliştirmekte olduğumuz
“Ulusal Atıf Veri Tabanı” ve “Ulusal Bilimsel Toplantılar Veri Tabanını da 2010 sonu itibariyle erişime açmayı planlamaktayız.  

 
Fen Bilimleri ve Sosyal Bilimler Atıf Veri Tabanı olarak iki ayrı veri tabanından oluşacak olan “Ulusal Atıf Veri Tabanı”nda Türkiye’de düzenli olarak yayınlanan ISSN almış tüm akademik süreli yayınların sistem kapsamına dahil edilmesi planlanmaktadır. Ulusal atıf sistemi kapsamında yer almak isteyen Türkçe süreli yayın editörlüklerinin ULAKBİM’e yazı ile başvurmaları ve 2000 sonrası dergi sayılarını iletmeleri gerekecektir. Konuyla ilgili bilgi ve gelişemeler ULAKBİM Cahit Arf Bilgi Merkezi Web sayfası üzerinden önümüzdeki günlerde ayrıca paylaşılacaktır.

Dear Friend,

The PITUITARY NETWORK ASSOCIATION (PNA) is engaged on a quest, The Ten Buck Challenge. We need to raise awareness and funding for some of the most misunderstood health issues: pituitary disorders. Not only can they be deadly, they affect one in every five people, causing depression, obesity, infertility, diabetes, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction, cancers, stroke, and many other issues. These disorders can be treated if detected early enough.

The PNA has a vital impact on the lives of hormonal patients throughout the world on a daily basis, and I am proud to participate and be a part of it all. Please read this letter,

http://media.pituitary.org/pdf/TBChallenge10.pdf

and join me in the challenge. Please pass this along to 10 of your friends, family members, business associates, nurses and doctors, and ask them to do the same; and let us join forces in helping make a difference.

Thank you!

New AHA/ASA Guidelines on Management of Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Susan Jeffrey

July 30, 2010 — The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association has released a new guideline on the management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

ICH has long been recognized as one of the most severe forms of stroke, among the most devastating neurologic injuries, and the view of many has been that there is not much to be done for these patients, said lead study author Lewis B. Morgenstern, MD, from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

"The clear message that we want to send with this guideline is that intracerebral hemorrhage is a very treatable disorder, with very guideline-concordant, aggressive critical care," Dr. Morgenstern told Medscape Medical News. "There's a lot of evidence in the guideline of things that are shown to be effective and improve outcome."

There's also a lot of evidence that if care is not aggressive, "outcome is very bad," he added. "So the hope of the writing committee is that clinicians will use this to guide their appropriate and aggressive treatment for patients who have intracerebral hemorrhage."

The guideline, which has been reviewed and the educational content affirmed by the American Academy of Neurology, as well as the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, was published online July 22 and will appear in the September issue of Stroke. The guideline applies only to spontaneous ICH, not ICH subsequent to trauma.

Evaluation of novel drugs using fMRI in early-phase clinical trials: safety monitoring

A advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) permit the possibility of helping with dose ranging, as well as potential drug efficacy and side-effect profiles. However there are no current guidelines or standards for fMRI that meet established standards of care. Guidelines must be adopted to be used when patients are exposed to novel drugs, in particular, when immediate access to the patient is limited. When used in initial, MRI mandates certain safety standards because subjects are positioned in the magnet thereby limiting direct observation, communication or immediate access in an emergency; in testing new drugs using fMRI, we suggest that safety guidelines merit discussion and definition. This could lead to the adoption of standards. Some of these issues are unique to the application of the technology in early-phase trials.

Researchers Solve Mystery of Uner Tan Syndrome with Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing using Roche NimbleGen Sequence Capture and 454 Sequencing Systems

Researchers have identified the causative mutation for Uner Tan Syndrome, a rare and debilitating disease.

Madison, Wisconsin - July 29, 2010

A team of researchers from leading universities in Turkey and the United States have reported that they have identified the genetic mutation responsible for the Uner Tan Syndrome (UTS) using advanced genetic capture and sequencing technologies from Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY). The combined genomic technologies enabled the team of scientists to identify the causative mutation of this debilitating disease after years of mystery. The study was presented by Suleyman Gulsuner, M.D. from Bilkent University, Turkey during the European Human Genetics Conference recently held in Gothenburg, Sweden at which he was awarded the prestigious Isabelle Oberlé Award for outstanding work in the field of genetics of mental retardation.

Free Journals Grow Amid Ongoing Debate

Jocelyn Kaiser

Publishers big and small are producing hundreds of free-to-read, peer-reviewed online journals that charge authors fees ranging from about $500 to $3000 per paper. The most prominent publisher, the nonprofit organization Public Library of Science (PLoS), launched its first journal in 2003. This year, PLoS is on track to make a small profit. The broader open-access campaign remains rife with controversy, however. Debates rage about whether open access is speeding scientific progress. Some argue that academic researchers already have good access to the articles they need. Critics suggest that the open-access publishing model encourages mediocre work, noting that PLoS, for example, has succeeded financially only because one of its journals collects fees on thousands of lightly reviewed papers a year. Some traditional publishers—including many scientific societies—fear that at some tipping point in the future, libraries will drop subscriptions and put journals out of business. But so far, the journals haven't shown that public-access mandates have done them harm.

Brain disorders: getting 'Down' to the gene pp909 - 910
Lino Tessarollo
doi:10.1038/nn0810-909
Narrowing down the genetic basis of Down syndrome, in which hundreds of genes are triplicated, has been difficult. A new study finds that the expression of two affected genes, Olig1 and Olig2, is critical for maintaining the balance of inhibitory and excitatory signaling in a mouse model of Down syndrome.
