"and now he works in investment banking."
That's one hell of a punchline. Is that serious, or is that just a grim joke? Because sadly it's right smack in the middle of Poe's Law territory.
- uvdiv 15y agoNo, it's extremely funny but it's true. The Ph.D. student at the time left research after receiving his degree and now works as an analyst for an international bank. http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2009/09/fake-data-alleg.html http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2009/09/fake-data-... The Swiss newspaper Tages Anzeiger reports that the doctoral student has left chemical research to become a financial analyst with the bank UBS. C&EN was unable to reach the former student at press time. http://pubs.acs.org/cen/news/87/i39/8739news4.html http://pubs.acs.org/cen/news/87/i39/8739news4.html
