Abstract: This paper is intended to introduce the famous dispute among the American biologists Zhuohua Pan, Karl Deisseroth and Edward Boyden, and further analyze the “inaccurate judgment”, “submission strategy” of academic papers, and the matter of keeping academic secrets and propaganda. The final conclusion is that the academia is supposed to make strong attempts to get rid of the matter of personal interest which lies behind various academic disputes, and return to the traditional “Merton Complementarity”.
