| Subject: Yet another scientist guilty of misconduct Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:15 am | |
| AN INTERNATIONAL expert in the evolution of morality who spoke at a forum in Sydney last year with the Dalai Lama has been found guilty of scientific misconduct.
An investigation by Harvard University concluded that Marc Hauser, a psychologist and expert in monkey behaviour, was ''solely responsible'' for eight instances of misconduct involving three of his published research papers.
Professor Hauser, author of the book, Moral Minds: How nature designed our universal sense of right and wrong, spoke on this topic at the Mind and its Potential conference last November.
The university found there were ''problems involving data acquisition, data analysis, data retention and the reporting of research methodologies and results'' with his research.
