the scientists responsible for this are a bit screwed career wise
What, the companies they worked for are just going to hang them out to dry? Not likely, not if they want scientists to keep distorting results for them. The scientists responsible for this might not have the admiration of their peers, but they'll be securely employed.
- spiffworks 16y agoA bit of a nit, but once you distort a result, I think you lose the right to call yourself a scientist.

- hartror 16y agoYou still need to convince a number of government bodies and the wider medical community that your results are kosher. If you've been shown to put your name on papers that falsify results it is going to be very difficult for you to convince these groups of the quality of your work.
