Abstract
Considers how the power of the Washington bureaucracy threatens scientists who are singled out for sanctions for alleged scientific misconduct. Even vindication comes at a very steep price. The authors discuss: Health and Human Services jurisdiction (legal constraints; definition of scientific misconduct); using experts to challenge jurisdiction; the politics of investigations
