Nankai University and Sun Yat-sen University in China have removed deans and deputy directors due to scientific misconduct, including data and image errors in published papers.
Janusz Pawliszyn, a 71-year-old internationally renowned analytical chemist and recipient of the Chemical Institute of Canada's highest honour, has joined Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou as a professor. Pawliszyn, who was appointed a Canada Research Chair in 2003 and became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2010, has supervised over 110 master's and doctoral students along with nearly 200 postdoctoral students and visiting scholars, many from China. One of his former postdoctoral fellows, Ouyang Gangfeng, now serves as dean of the university's school of chemical engineering and technology.
