Downfall of a Harvard Scientist

An article in The New York Times details the downfall of Piero Anversa, who once worked at Harvard University's medical school and published what was seen as cutting-edge research on the heart. Harvard and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have now accused him of scientific misconduct and said that more than 30 of his research studies contain falsified data and should be retracted. Anversa denies wrongdoing and blames the problems in the paper on a rogue colleague.
