Whatever Happened to . . . ? Looking Back 10 Years
This is part of an occasional series that will recall some of the stories reported 10 years ago in the News section of the Journal.
Science has changed in the past 10 years not only in terms of research and discovery, but also in the way its work is monitored.
The News reported in its June 7, 1989, issue that the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations convened in 1989 to re-investigate allegations of scientific misconduct and fraud. Rep. John D. Dingell (D-Mich.) presided as chairman over the hearing, whose other key players included former Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers David Baltimore, Ph.D., a Nobel laureate, Thereza Imanishi-Kari, M.D., and Margot O'Toole, Ph.D., who set the investigation in motion in 1986.
