The National Academy of Sciences has sanctioned White House Climate aide Jane Lubchenco from involvement in their publications for 5 years.
The reason for the sanctions was her violating section 3 of its code of conduct. Lubchenco edited a paper for the National Academy of Sciences that was later retracted for the data underlying the analysis not being the latest available and one of the authors being her brother-in-law.
The National Academy of Sciences has barred Jane Lubchenco, a key White House climate aide, from involvement in NAS publications and activities for five years for violating its code of conduct before joining the administration, the organization said.
Why it matters: The move represents a significant rebuke to Lubchenco, who is deputy director for climate and environment at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Driving the news: The NAS, the most prestigious science body in the U.S., said the decision, effective Aug. 8, stems from section 3 of its code of conduct. It states that members “shall avoid those detrimental research practices that are clear violations of the fundamental tenets of research.”
Lubchenco accepted blame for her error and the sanctions by The National Academy of Sciences.
