Talk:Eric Poehlman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I had forgotten about this case until I saw a NY Times article chronicling the accusations and his eventual sentencing. I am glad he was sent to jail. I am a biomedical researcher and I have to send in grants and compete for funding with jokers such as him. In this line of business, the rich can get richer and if they do so fraudently then it hurts the majority of honest scientists and society as a whole. It is very tough to get funded and yes the ability or inability to get research grants has a direct effect on a career. If there are people out there wasting public money on made up data, then root them out and punish them! It really is a zero sum game. Let the people who are honest and want to do the science in to do research. We all want a level playing field and really I regret that he doesn't serve more time. If only to send a message to the few others who might be doing the same. [Gee I feel better already :)]
