Mad Scientist
October 22, 2009 – 10:55 amFrom an article in this week’s Nature about South Korean scientist Woo Suk Hwang who has been on trial for fabricating his research…
In August, at the last of 43 judicial hearings on the affair, prosecutors sought four years in prison for Hwang. It was the end of an epic 40-month trial that saw the chief judge change three times, heard testimonies from more than 60 witnesses and included some bizarre moments — such as when Hwang claimed he could not account for some of his funding because he had used it to pay Russian mafia for access to the DNA of a frozen mammoth that he hoped to clone.
Wow.
