"Author on leave after Harvard inquiry; Investigation of scientist’s work finds evidence of misconduct, prompts retraction by journal" by Carolyn Y. Johnson, Globe Staff | August 10, 2010
It is unusual for a scientist as prominent as Harvard University psychologist Marc Hauser — a well-known scientist, author, popular professor and eloquent communicator of science whose work has often been featured on television and in newspapers — to be named in an investigation of scientific misconduct....
Actually, in the age of ClimateGate and the Gulf Gusher it is not unusual at all.
Much remains unclear, including why the investigation took so long, the specifics of the misconduct, and whether Hauser’s leave is a punishment for his actions....
What is clear is my interest (or lack thereof).

Giving it all the consideration it is due, readers.
