摘要

Purdue University has set up a third panel to look at allegations of research misconduct against nuclear engineer Rusi Taleyarkhan. The existence of the latest inquiry emerged when a congressional committee wrote to the university questioning the thoroughness of its earlier review. Now Purdue, based in West Lafayette, Indiana, faces an uphill task in convincing the wider scientific community that it is mounting a serious investigative effort, critics say.
