Hauser speaks, apologizes

Embattled Harvard biologist Marc Hauser issued a brief mea culpa that ran in the Boston Globe on Friday (20th August). In it, Hauser admits making “some significant mistakes” and urges the scientific community to wait for the conclusion of a federal investigation by the Office of Research Integrity before passing judgment. “I have learned a great deal from this process and have made many changes in my own approach to research and in my lab’s research practices,” he writes.

    Harvard….that says it all. A University that is fast losing credibility by producing such brain trusts as our president, the newest member of the supreme court and many other social progressives (communicsts). Their graduates have no clue as to how organizations actually work so its no surprise that the science side is also deficient.

    There is a saying in my world…”If it weren’t for the fathers money, the typical student at Harvard could not even get into college.”

    Yes, I spelled communist wrong….went to Harvard you know.
