See our ‘for dummies guide’ to the Milena Penkowa scientific fraud case here.<\/a><\/p>\nThree suspicious areas<\/h2>\n
Professor Hans Lassmann of the Medical University of Vienna, who chaired the panel of experts, pointed to three main areas of potential scientific misconduct: <\/p>\n
First of all, the animal experiments which Milena Penkowa claims to have carried out, but which have not been sufficiently documented. Second, the methodology of her experiments, and her choice of markers to pinpoint results. Third, the small numbers of animals and experiments that she used to prove her findings, and the variations between the individuals in her data.<\/p>\n
The problem with the animal experiments is something that is being investigated by the police and by the Committee on Scientific dishonesty. <\/p>\n
\u00bbWe realise that if this is true that certain animal experiments were not carried out, then this may have implications for even more papers,\u00ab Professor Lassmann said at the press conference. <\/p>\n
As for the second, the methodology, Professor Lassmann said that \u00bbyou need very specific controlled experiments to be sure that what you see is what is right\u00ab. However, \u00bbwe did not find documentation that Milena Penkowa had done sufficient controls\u00ab. <\/p>\n
Finally as for Penkowa\u2019s data, Professor Lassman said that the panel did not \u00bbfind how you (Penkowa… ed.) could come up with this homogenous quantitative data\u00ab.<\/p>\n
University: Clear, possible cheating<\/h2>\n
While the international panel maintained that it could not clearly prove cheating, the University of Copenhagen draws a sharper conclusion to the international panel\u2019s report.<\/p>\n
In a press release, the University of Copenhagen refers to a \u00bbclear conclusion of possible cheating\u00ab, and will refer the 15 articles to the UVVU committee, saying that this could result in Milena Penkowa losing her Doctorate and PhD.<\/p>\n
Prorector Thomas Bj\u00f8rnholm compared the Milena Penkowa case to other cases of scientific dishonesty: In contrast to other cases where the scientist immediately collaborated after suspicions were raised, Milena Penkowa did not admit to fraudulent research. This had been a complicating factor, drawing out the investigations, he said.<\/p>\n
