… on your graduate students or your many jealous competitors is SO the done thing. UD, who has covered reams of these stories over the years of her blog, sees it again and again. When pushed to the limit, when faced with evidence in a courtroom, academic members of what Boris Badenov called the Villains, Thieves, and Scoundrels Union will swing wide, swing desperately…
The University of Copenhagen’s Milena Penkowa has lost her job and lost her criminal case.
She continues to insist that she did not attempt to “frame an innocent 24-year-old student assistant [for Penkowa’s own] embezzlement by fabricating documents, e-mails and account withdrawals in the student’s name.”
She’s a brain scientist… And it must be admitted that her behavior from the beginning of her remarkable fraud journey (type Penkowa in my search engine) has been a fascinating cerebral puzzle.
She faces another criminal case: She apparently lied about the rats she used in her experiments.
Rats. You can’t make this shit up.

Silly scientist. Doesn’t she know that rats are squealers?
