Rats in Science and Medicine: Reflections of an Ombudsman

By Richard Hansford

Scientific research is the search for truth and this is a noble pursuit. Yet the scientists who power this endeavor are all-too human; they are driven by desire for fame, for power, for money and in many cases they will not be denied. For a few, the path leads to uncollegiality, deceit and even crime. Results may be manipulated, competitors may be obstructed even destroyed.You will meet some of these villains in this group of short stories, which are based upon real-life occurrences which came to the ears of the author during his many years in the trenches of Science and through his work as an ombudsman. Read with care! Not all of the people whom you will meet will be White Knights!
