Dear CCP4BB, due to increasing demand, it seems we should put together a workshop on data fabrication, covering the various important topics (chaired by JHo):
--Images: the future of fabrication? How long can we rely on database Luddism? --Ways out: how to leave a trail of "accidental" data mix-ups --Publish large or small? Cost-benefit analyses of impact factor vs. risk of being discovered --Pushing the envelope: how significant is two [sic] significant --Crossing discipline boundaries: are data fabrication procedures universal? --Build a better "hofkristallrat"-trap: utilization of rhetorical bombast and indignation in reply letters --Break-out support-session with survivors: comforting words on careers after the fall --Session on the inextricably-related topic of grammatical pedantry, to be followed by a soccer (football?) match Greeks Vs. Latins Ample funding will be available from big pharma and other industry sectors Please submit further topics to the CCP4BB list JPK ps I can't believe no one mentioned the loathsome Latino-Greek "multimer" in the recent curmudgeonry postings. ******************************************* Jacob Pearson Keller Northwestern University Medical Scientist Training Program email: j-kell...@northwestern.edu *******************************************
