Machiavelli's Laboratory

Livro disponibilizado eletronicamente em .pdf e, por isso, sem muita possibilidade de ser queimado no index librorum prohibitorum cave canem academicus cum brutis non est luctandum

Segue um fragmento irregular pardo-claro, firme e elástico do livro e os 10 pecados corriqueiros de todo bom cientista:
-
This is a satirical book about science and ethics. All of the advice offered in this book is bad advice. Nothing in this book should be taken seriously. Literal-minded readers are urged to stop reading now.
-
... a few banal evils committed every day by respected scientists:
-
1. Boastfulness. Touting the positive qualities of your research, while omitting the problematic aspects. 2. Jealousy. Writing manuscripts that fail to cite the relevant and precedential work of your competitors. 3. Irresponsibility. Receiving a large federal grant but barely working on the project, preferring to spend your time garnering additional grants. 4. Arrogance. Refusing to release your research data to the public, insisting that others will misinterpret your findings. 5. Laziness. Co-authoring papers you haven't even read. 6. Deception. Hiding your financial conflicts of interest from your research subjects, colleagues, and editors; and profiting from your deceit. 7. Intimidation. Getting your way through an exercise of authority, rather than through scientific persuasion. 8. Cronyism. Using your influence to help your allies (by inviting them to speak at meetings, or by placing them in powerful positions), while you surreptitiously work to isolate or discredit scientists whose opinions or agendas conflict with yours. 9. Influence peddling. Using your authority and power to alter the course ofscientific advancement, in accordance with the wishes of a paying entity. 10. Rationalization. Justifying your actions through the self-serving use of a seemingly scientific argument that is illogical and wrong.
-
You may be thinking that there must be some exceptions; scientists and physicians who are altruistic. Actually, no, there are no exceptions. (grifo nosso). The hypothetical altruistic scientist would not last very long in an environment where competing ideas are marketed (promoted in grant applications), bought (through licenses and royalty payments and technology transfer agreements), sold (as high-priced pharmaceuticals and laboratory tests), banked (patented) and destroyed (by competition).
