This report outlines the ethical conflict and subsequent resolution regarding the academic misconduct of Drs. Campbell and Pemberton during their Nobel Prize campaign for Super-Asymmetry.
As scientists, we debated whether "winning" via a character assassination—regardless of the truth—compromised the integrity of our own scientific achievement. 4. Resolution and Action Taken Gregory Pemberton engaged in academic plagiarism during his
