So, Looks like I have at least one of a partnership who realized after leaving lab that their data were completely bollixed, and then tried obfuscation in their writeup to conceal it.  So, I get to convey to them (1) that's fraud, and (2) that's a "Take him out and hang him" offense.


I routinely did that in my physics labs when I realized that I would be penalized for honestly reporting and analyzing my results.

And I am certain they train students to do that up in chemistry upstairs.  Knowing what I do about things like N rays, potassium flare stars, and the Sandage-Tamman vs de Vaucouleurs values of the Hubble constant pre-HST, I am trying to break them of that.

Ah yes, Mr. Doesn't Do The Work Until the End, as you demonstrated last term:

 

It was due last week.  If I do not get it before one week from right now, I will refuse to accept it, and per the policy on the syllabus, you will fail the course.  Period.

 

And I will savor doing it, you sorry sack of self-absorbed lamprey feces.

 

Love,

Dr. Cancer

Parent Teacher Conferences tonight and tomorrow night. I'm reminded of this exchange between Sheridan and Ivanova:

 

Ivanova: Is there anything else you need?
Sheridan: Yeah, a glass of whiskey, a gun, and two bullets.
Ivanova: Understood.
