Skeptical.

As someone who does research as part of my university curriculum, fabricating data or lying is just asking for the feds, your institution, the institution that granted you your degree, to investigate you and everything you've done.

Your peers probably aren't going to be too friendly either. If you lied on your research, there's probably little doubt you lied on research they did that you reviewed. How would you feel if you spent years lobbying to get your research funded only to find out some asshat fucked it up when he claimed to be helping you.

If found guilty, I hope you enjoy teaching middle school science, because that PhD you spent nearly a decade working your way up to is now about as valid as a piece of printer paper.

If you're able to somehow keep your job at the institution, enjoy teaching freshman stuff they probably learned in high school for the rest of your life.

Of course, some are influential enough to beat the conviction, but it's an * that follows.

“I’ve been told by many people that...” (insert incredible statement here) 😉

Big green is a huge money maker. Doomsday lies, I mean predictions, keep the money flowing.
