Scientist Who Faked Data Loses PhD.
from the bye-bye dept
Two years ago the physics world was buzzing over accusations that a young physicist working at Bell Labs had faked the data for his impressive research. The research had been so impressive, in fact, that many expected him to receive the Nobel Prize. Instead, he quickly lost his job. Two years later, he's lost even more, as the University of Constance, where he obtained his PhD., has now revoked the degree from Jan Hendrik Schoen.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
