Hi

Article in Boston Globe about Mark Hauser and ethical issues about his research.

http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2010/08/10/author_on_leave_after_harvard_inquiry/

Unfortunately, allegations for which Hauser has accepted responsibility are 
stated so cryptically as to be impossible to know precisely what the ethical 
lapse was.  Reading between the lines, it appears that there was some gap 
between actual videotapes of monkey behavior and encoding (presumably by 
judges) of their behaviors.  Perhaps unlikely that Hauser was the one doing the 
encoding ... so was his lapse inadequate supervision/verification?

Perhaps others know more.

Take care
Jim
