I would hand back a grant that was given due to a false result that occurred because of my error. Julia should be praised for doing the right thing with the paper, I just think she should think about going further.
- Ididntdothis 6y agoI don't think so. I am not returning my salary when I screw up at work and I have made bad decisions that cost 100s of thousands. As long it comes from an honest effort mistakes are part of the game.
- unishark 6y agoI think you missed the above poster's point. Big grants provide funding for multiple years. It can get cancelled rather than continued. I'm rather surprised it wasn't. They might also cease making payments that haven't been made yet in the current year. I know people this has happened to, purely due to govt shutdowns and such unrelated to anyone screwing up. It would be more like losing the remaining payments of a multi-year contract because it gets broken. Or in your analogy, like losing your job.
