Painting the mice - science fraud
Found this article from Discover Magazine interesting.Excerpts:
In 1974 immunologist William Summerlin created a sensation when he claimed to have transplanted tissue from black to white mice. In reality, he used a black felt-tip pen to darken patches of fur on white mice.
Some researchers still use “painting the mice” to describe scientific fraud.
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Research Integrity estimates there are 2,300 cases of misconduct among NIH-funded researchers each year.
