CONTENTS NOTE
Text of Note
"Jan Hendrik Schon was a wunderkind physicist at the world-renowned Bell Laboratories when he claimed to have discovered an easy method for making transistors, the switches that power computer chips. Had his experiments worked, they would have paved the way for huge advances in energy technology and electronics. His work was published in prestigious journals, vetted by Nobel laureates, and promoted by senior managers at Bell Labs. But when fellow researchers failed to re-create his results, the scientific community learned that it had fallen victim to the biggest fraud in the history of physics." "In this compelling narrative, former New Scientist editor Eugenie Samuel Reich reveals the dangers of extreme competition in science: how brilliant men and women can blind themselves to sloppy documentation in pursuit of career advancement; how the pressure to produce can lead laboratory chiefs to promote untested data; and how incentives to publish can drive individuals to abandon professional ethics. Reich's psychological account will resonate with anyone who works in any field where the stakes rest on the tension between human integrity and professional ambition."--BOOK JACKET.
