Read the open letter from the 58 scientists.<\/a><\/p>\n Lack of expertise h2>
\nMalene Ambj\u00f8rn researched metallothionein which resulted in the publication of an article on the protein. During this time it was decided that Milena Penkowa should also have her name on the article, even though she only served as supervisor on an early stage in the process.<\/p>\n
\u00bbI was very much against it, because I did not believe that she had contributed to the article. But in our field is it unfortunately often the case that people get their name on items that they might have contributed little to,\u00ab says Malene Ambj\u00f8rn.<\/p>\n
Because Milena Penkowa and Malene Ambj\u00f8rn use different research methods, two other scientists were also attached to the project. Malene Ambj\u00f8rn is happy with this decision today.<\/p>\n
Not worried about scrutiny<\/h2>\n
\u00bbIt is okay that Milena has a different expertise area than I do, but I feel I was incredibly ill-treated. Discussions in her lab were not open to criticism,\u00ab says Malene Ambj\u00f8rn. <\/p>\n
She is not scared about having her own work subjected to scrutiny in a possible investigation, she says.<\/p>\n
