| Harvard psychology professor Hauser's statement Posted: 20 Aug 2010 09:05 PM PDT Below is the text of a statement by Harvard psychology professor Marc Hauser: I am deeply sorry for the problems this case has caused to my students, my colleagues, and my university.. I acknowledge that I made some significant mistakes and I am deeply disappointed that this has led to a retraction and two corrections. I also feel terrible about the concerns regarding the other five cases, which involved either unpublished work or studies in which the record was corrected before submission for publication. I hope that the scientific community will now wait for the federal investigative agencies to make their final conclusions based on the material that they have available. 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. Research and teaching are my passion. After taking some time off, I look forward to getting back to my work, mindful of what I have learned in this case. This has been painful for me and those who have been associated with the work. © Copyright 2010 Globe Newspaper Company.

| Harvard says psychology professor "solely responsible" for scientific misconduct Posted: 20 Aug 2010 03:57 PM PDT Published August 20, 2010 | Associated Press CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard University says a faculty committee investigating the work of a psychology professor has found him "solely responsible" for eight instances of scientific misconduct. Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean Michael Smith says in a letter sent to faculty Friday that the inquiry found three studies conducted by Marc Hauser needed to be corrected or retracted. Five other studies were not published or had problems that were corrected before they were published. Smith says the experiments had problems involving data acquisition, data analysis, data retention as well as the reporting of research methodologies and results. Smith says "such misconduct strikes at the core of our academic values." The U.S. Attorney's Office and federal agencies that funded Hauser's research are also investigating. Hauser is on leave until next year. His home number has been disconnected.
