Red Wine Researcher Flagged For Fake Data

(AP)  
HARTFORD, Conn. - A University of Connecticut researcher known for his work on the benefits of red wine to heart health falsified his data in more than 100 instances, and nearly a dozen scientific journals are being warned of the potential problems after publishing his studies in recent years, officials said Wednesday.
UConn officials said their internal review found 145 instances over seven years in which Dr. Dipak Das fabricated and falsified data, and the U.S. Office of Research Integrity has launched an independent investigation of his work.

any researcher who falsifies data (aka liar); needs to be jailed. this is serious and should not be taken lightly.

many receive our tax dollars and are generally trusted to "dig for truth". again they should be jailed.
