•   A whistle-blower is a person who sees ethical wrongdoing, tries unsuccessfully to correct it internally, and then informs an external audience, agency, or the media.
•   By doing what is moral, a whistle-blower needs to be prepared to make sacrifices—loss of a job or promotion, lowered pay, an undesirable transfer, abandonment by friends or work, or legal costs. There is no guarantee that doing the ethical or moral thing will stop the unethical behaviour or protect the honest researcher from retaliation.
