Wednesday, February 22, 2006How did Schatten fail to notice Hwang's fabrications? In another creative (and tactful) turn of phrase, the UP investigators suggested his desire for 'reputational enhancement'. Schatten was listed as a co-author on the cloned dog paper, which made headlines around the world, even though his contribution was basically engaging a professional photographer for the publicity shots. Money may have helped, too. The American received honoraria totalling US$40,000, including $10,000 in cash at the end of the press conference last May announcing the stem cell lines. Dr Schatten has not commented on the affair since he broke with Hwang last November. That's pretty good money, but probably not worth the loss of a reputation. posted by Sydney on 2/22/2006 08:42:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
