原MIT副教授被判学术欺诈
原MIT肿瘤研究中心的副教授Luk Van Parijs,2005年因其研究工作被实验室的学生和博士后质疑(反映到系主任那里了),引起学校注意,并介入调查(让这哥儿们带薪停职,禁止进入实验室,估计再也没有进过实验室了),发现在基金申请、投送的论文稿件和已经发表的论文中都有造假,Van Parijs 当即被开除。但是,事情还没有完。
一石激起千层浪。新闻这一报道,这把火很快就烧到了他生活战斗过的地方。先是加州理工,那是他做博士后的学校,导师是大名鼎鼎的诺贝尔奖获得主David Baltimore(时任加州理工校长,MIT的肿瘤研究中心也是他曾经战斗过的地方), Baltimore是个聪明人,他主动要求被调查。结果表明,他在Baltimore实验室的两篇Immunity论文内容都存在造假,后来都被撤除。这火接着又烧到了哈佛Brigham and Women's Hospital,Abul Abbas的实验室,他读博士的地方,有两篇论文存在造假(Journal Experimental Medicine和Immunity),后来被撤除。原来这小子一路造假走过来的。
牛人小档案:Van Parijs 比利时人,1970年出生,英国剑桥大学毕业,哈佛拿的博士(4年,第一作者论文:JEM 1篇, Immunity 2篇,J Immunology 3篇),加州理工博士后(2年,2篇一作Immunity), 到MIT 3年就被升为副教授(但未tenure,),1年后事发。
Van Parijs工作的领域是RNA干扰,这几年热得发烫的领域,他本人也有过出色的贡献(并不是所有论文都造假)。
美国位于波士顿的律师办公室宣布,Van Parijs的案子将于今年6月14号宣判,他可能要接受5年的牢狱生活以及高达25万美元的罚款(申请基金造假?),另外他还要支付MIT的6万多美元作为补偿(他本人也同意支付)。
这就是美国呀,Van Parijs恐怕肠子都悔青了,怎么当初没选个安全的地方? 比如......晚啦! 比较起来,你我是不是该庆幸? 知足偷乐吧。
Former MIT Researcher Convicted of Fraud

The ordeal isn't over for biologist Luk van Parijs, who was fired by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2005 after admitting to fabricating research data. Yesterday, Van Parijs, 40, pleaded guilty in a U.S. District Court in Boston to one count of making a false statement on a federal grant application.
Van Parijs worked in the field of RNA interference. MIT launched an investigation after his students and postdocs raised questions about his research and found that he had fabricated and falsified data in grant applications, submitted manuscripts, and a published paper. In 2009, the federal Office of Research Integrity found that he had also falsified data in other publications.
The U.S. attorney's office in Boston announced yesterday that Van Parijs will be sentenced 14 June and that he could receive up to 5 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine. The government alleges that he falsely claimed to have developed a specific transgenic mouse and to have obtained certain results from an experiment. According to a plea agreement, the U.S. attorney will not recommend a fine, but Van Parijs has agreed to pay MIT $61,117 in restitution.
