I WOULD like to thank Dr Darren Ong Chung Lee (The Star, Aug 7) and Dr Ramesh Rao (Aug 16) for their thoughtful responses to my letter “No mere academic activity” (Aug 5).
Firstly, allow me to reiterate that my comments and observations were strictly confined to clinical (medical) research as I am not familiar with research norms in the other branches of science or non-science fields. Clinical research is applied directly to treat future patients. Incompetent research has real world consequences for patients.
