Background:

The retracted Science paper When contact changes minds and the surrounding problems are discussed in detail in form of a case study on Responsible Conduct of Research by the Research Office of the University of New Hampshire. Read through the case study (and maybe try to find out some more of the details on the case).

At the end of the case study, several questions are raised. Pick two (2) of the questions and write a blog post discussing them. Make sure to include the text of the questions you are answering.

The case study links to several resources for your references if you are unfamiliar with the material being discussed.
