Clearing The Air

I love this story about how 33% of scientists fabricate their results:

A significant number --15 percent -- said they had changed the design, methods or results of a study in response to pressure from a financial sponsor. These 15 percent were said to work for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Overheard in the laboratory: "If the test results don't show that secondhand smoke is deadly, there will be no more multimillion dollar grants, so start doctoring some results; Johnson & Johnson needs a football stadium."

DrJonz adds: Swiftee posted in this today too.

Did Swiftee cover the the Robert Wood Johnson connection with the NY Jets, and the billionaire's bid to get NY taxpayers to pay for his proposed stadium?

Brother, can you spare a poor billionaire a dime?
