Medical scandals

Recently, you heard about one medical scandal after another.

The Korean scandal from Korea's top university, Seoul National University, shocked the whole world recently with fabricated results that were published by a famous journal.

Next, you heard the news of an Italian scandal. Of late, the Japanese scandal, the case of which will come to light in a short while.

Researchers must be under tremendous pressure from all quarters to perform. Whatever their motives for coming up with creative (in the bad sense) scientific papers for submission, the end result can be frightening.

Are we putting too much pressures and setting priorities on the wrong things? I think so.

Scandals sound daunting. But when is it going to end? May I suggest that it most probably will not as long as people are in it.
