An Unwelcome Discovery. Eric Poehlman pleaded guilty to lying on a federal grant application and admitted to fabricating more than a decade’s worth of scientific data on obesity, menopause and aging, much of it while conducting clinical research as a tenured faculty member at the University of Vermont. He presented fraudulent data in lectures and in published papers, and he used this data to obtain millions of dollars in federal grants from the National Institutes of Health — a crime subject to as many as five years in federal prison. Poehlman’s admission of guilt came after more than five years during which he denied the charges against him, lied under oath and tried to discredit his accusers. By the time Poehlman came clean, his case had grown into one of the most expansive cases of scientific fraud in U.S. history.

Email conversation with James Repace. Ventilation and Secondhand Smoke. I have read your work, and it is laughable in the extreme. Your analysis is so blatantly unscientific I wonder how you manage to con so many people into believing what you say. Your claims are lies pure and simple. (Repace, a scientist, then unprofessionally swears at the public in emails.)
