Hermann J. Muller's research swan song: His long-term radiation dose-rate mutation investigations yielded no research publications, leaving questions of scientific misconduct.

Abstract excerpt

This paper evaluates the final major research effort of Hermann J. Muller, Nobel Laureate, to assess whether radiation displays a dose-rate process for radiation-induced germ cell mutation. Muller tried to extend the dose-rate findings of William Russell, Oak Ridge National Labs (ORNL), in male/female mice with his Drosophila fruit fly model. The paper reveals that Muller had no success in clarifying the...
