    “This study is probably the most depressing project I’ve been involved with in my entire life,” Amaral said. “Since I was a kid, I was excited about science. It’s distressing to see others engage in fraud and in misleading others. But if you believe that science is useful and important for humanity, then you have to fight for it.”

    i understand, it's personal for you. i don't like it, any of it. i'm frustrated that government isn't doing more than they are to crack down on it. and i don't mean just the current admin

    The fraud here is building reputations within scientific fields by improper means. As the posted summary indicates, this happens by what are generally called paper mills.

    It is quite different from scientists being said to chase grants, etc. by publishing results crafted to agree with 'popular' notions. That is what I read about here, mostly. I consider it generally unfounded and essentially a distraction from this real problem.

    A fraudster label. It's bandied around by both sides.
