(2002). "Science on the Sly: Guilty plea in Cleveland Clinic case becomes latest example of theft from research labs." The Scientist Summer: 16-18.       This unusual case involves the stealing and transfer of scientific materials from one lab to another and then out of the country. The perpetrator was accused of economic espionage, altering and destroying trade secrets, and interstate and international transfer of stolen materials. This case underscores the increasing value of research materials and the need for security even in academic labs. The irony is that these materials could have been shared under a material transfer agreement. Baltimore, D. (1993). "Shattuck Lecture--Misconduct in Medical Research." N Engl J Med 329(10): 732-3.
