    Professor Fired for fudging data for Grant Money

    This happens constantly and continuously, they must have grant money sometimes to make a living and to keep being able to work




    The Chicago Tribune reports that the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has a fired a tenured professor for falsifying research data in order to receive grant funding.

    According to the Tribune, "Fei Wang, an associate professor of cell and molecular biology, was terminated following a special meeting of university trustees Friday, concluding a yearslong review of his work. Board members determined that Wang had fabricated and falsified scientific data in grant applications to the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation."


    The Tribune reports that "the falsification involved passing off mouse cells as human cells and submitting results from experiments that were never performed."
