As with the students of Mark Hauser, so with Suchitra Holgersson’s students: You can’t train them in empirical methods and then expect them to look the other way when you fudge things.
… Holgersson, who joined the [Sahgrenska] Academy [in Sweden] two years ago, [has been found] guilty of severe science fraud in several cases where she has fabricated data … and distorted results, and also in that she has forged documents in attempts to mislead the expert [review] panel itself during the investigation.
Professor Holgersson’s own PhD students blew the whistle on her.
Holgersson studies transplantation and immunity.

Kudos to these students. Would that more of their elders had such courage…
