Physician-researcher role conflict and the Janus-faced Dr. Roger Poisson -- The rise, fall, and resurrection of a scientific revolutionary : competing characterizations of Dr. Bernard Fisher -- Fighting for a place at the table : women as consumers, partners, and subjects of science--and the "dark knight" who tried to "protect" them -- Recharacterizing science and public life : trust, dialogue, and citizen engagement.Scientific Characters chronicles the contests over character, knowledge, trust, and truth in a politically charged scientific controversy that erupted after a 1994 Chicago Tribune headline: "Fraud in Breast Cancer Research: Doctor Lied on Data for Decade." In the aftermath of this dramatic news, Dr. Bernard Fisher, the eminent oncologist and celebrated pioneer of breast cancer research, came under intense scrutiny following allegations that one of his investigators falsified data in landmark breast cancer research. Although he was eventually cleared of all wrongdoing, the controversy called into question the treatment decisions of tens of thousands of women, because Fisher's research had demonstrated that lumpectomy and radiation were as effective as breast removal for early stage cancers, a finding that was hailed as revolutionary in women's health care.Rhetoric, culture, and social critique.Rhetoric, politics, and trust in breast cancer researchBreastCancerResearchMoral and ethical aspectsScientistsProfessional ethicsScientific surveysBreastCancerResearchMoral and ethical aspects.ScientistsProfessional ethics.Scientific surveys.362.196/994490072Keränen Lisa1516463MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784902403321Scientific characters3752943UNINA
