Reiss forced to resign
IMO: Quite correct that he should have to resign in the circumstances. If there is any question of directing blame in one direction, the blame seems to be with the Press. We also need to bear in mind that one of the functions of the Royal Society is to help to educate the public, including the Press, about scientific and other matters. More and more, ethics in science and elsewhere are important and overall it is a sad and rather pathetic matter.
