The Chronicle News Blog: Former MIT Scientist Who Falsified Data Is Suspended From Receiving Federal Grants
Washington — The Department of Health and Human Services will bar a former university scientist from receiving federal research money for five years, after concluding that he falsified data in several government-backed projects.
The researcher, Luk Van Parijs, was fired in 2005 as an associate professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, after he admitted he had fabricated and falsified data in a paper, several manuscripts, and grant applications. The federal agency’s announcement is scheduled to be made public tomorrow, in the Federal Register.
