The behavior of JAMA Editor-in-Chief Howard Bauchner is appalling and frightening. If he's so unwilling to deal with fraud in his publishing, what is he letting people get away with in his position as Vice Chairman of Pediatrics at Boston University. He seems far too keen to sweep things under the rug.
- amckinlay 8y agoHow is it responsible, medically, to sit on a report of scientific fraud without action for two years, selling and profiting off bad data.
- brennebeck 8y agoAre you being sardonic or is that a genuine question? It’s difficult to tell here since most comments are generally serious and not flippant.
- detuur 8y agoReads to me like an expression of disbelief.

I think the chance is quite high, that people in even higher positions know they can only keep their position stable by putting such kind of people in leadership positions underneath them, or this is a serious survival skill in leadership positions itself, which allows such people to stay in power and even raise the ranks, specifically because they are skilled at sweeping things under the rug. Both would be a rather disappointing realization about the world, but that's how it looks like.
