A spokesperson for Nasa said Ms Antoniadou was not an employee of the agency, but they could not rule out the possibility she had worked as a sub-contractor on Nasa projects.

The organisation that gave out the award Ms Antoniadou accepted earlier this month from the Greek minister said Ms Kerameos was not in any way involved in the selection of the winner.

It must be a slow news day in Athens. Or maybe this qualifies as breaking news in Greece??

Well, if we are going to play make-believe with pronouns, humoring a young lady like that might be more agreeable. She has an interesting spot on the hot/crazy index, I’m sure.

Just more evidence of “awards” today being given to un-worthy people because they have checked a box.

Nasa has no record of this person working at Nasa and she does not have a Phd even though Mattel claims she is a scientist.

I’ve know what NASA is, but what is this thing called Nasa?

If she identifies as a scientist, what right do we have to question it?

“winning the NASA-ESA Outstanding Researcher Award in 2012”

geez, how hard was that to verify?

Nice teef.

Apperently Nasa is where she claims she works. Mattel and the Greek science community mistook it for NASA.

A Greek version of this person?:

She does seem to have a sturdy set of chompers.

On the hood of my car at Wisconsin and M Streets at 5 o’clock on Friday afternoon and I’ll give you thirty minutes to draw a crowd.

Apparently this Greek version is not as ambitious. She did not turn her fake awards and credentials into a multibillion dollar business. She just used them to fly around the world and get free meals, lodging and trophies.

With instagram fame and “diversity” agendas I'm surprised we don't see more of this.

Are you talking to me?

Take a look at the NASA award book for 2012. 82 pages of awards. NASA even gave out 12 awards for Diversity in 2012. How does one not obtain an award from NASA?

I work with about 100 scientists in our lab of whom around 20 have doctorates and the rest have non-terminal degrees, but the govt gives all of them the title of scientist. Much of the engineering work is done by those with PE, EE, and ME degrees, and not PhDs.
