Scientist already knows answers in advance of study

09 Aug 2010. University of California cell biology professor Manuela Martins-Green is awarded a USD 250,000 grant to study the effects of thirdhand smoke dust on the skin and already knows the results in advance.

In a university press release she states, “I am expecting to find that prolonged exposure to third-hand smoke will affect the ability of the skin to protect us from environmental exposures,” and “I also expect that, when injured, the skin will not heal normally and could even result in wounds that become chronic.”

Prominent members of academia have protested against this unethical attitude towards conducting scientific studies. (pi)
