"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." Moving back and forth between news coverage, medical journals, letters to the editor, and oncology pamphlets, Lisa Keranen draws insights from rhetoric, literary studies, sociology, and science studies to analyze the roles of character in shaping the outcomes of the "Datagate" controversy.
