Fifty-four scientists have lost their jobs as a result of NIH probe into foreign ties
Science Magazine ^ | June 12, 2020 | Jeffrey Mervis

Some 54 scientists have resigned or been fired as a result of an ongoing investigation by the National Institutes of Health into the failure of NIH grantees to disclose financial ties to foreign governments. In 93% of those cases, the hidden funding came from a Chinese institution.

The new numbers come from Michael Lauer, NIH’s head of extramural research. Lauer had previously provided some information on the scope of NIH’s investigation, which had targeted 189 scientists at 87 institutions. But his presentation today to a senior advisory panel offered by far the most detailed breakout of an effort NIH launched in August 2018 that has roiled the U.S. biomedical community, and resulted in criminal charges against some prominent researchers, including Charles Lieber, chair of Harvard University’s department of chemistry and chemical biology.

“It’s not what we had hoped, and it’s not a fun task,” NIH Director Francis Collins said in characterizing the ongoing investigation. He called the data “sobering.”

In the vast majority of cases, Lauer reported, the person being investigated has been an Asian man in his 50s. Some three-quarters of those under investigation had active NIH grants, and nearly half had at least two grants. The 285 active grants totaled $164 million....

I wonder whether Lieber’s immediate ancestry is Russian or German, like so many other unAmerican Jews.

You will likely find this tree of Leiber’s students interesting in the number of Asian students he has educated.

Also you may find this of interest, likely the real rub behind Leiber’s being prosecuted because of its strategic military applications for batteries and direct computer interfacing with the human body:

******************************

Why did a Chinese university hire Charles Lieber to do battery research?

” An affidavit outlining the charges against Lieber notes that in January 2013, he signed an agreement between Harvard and Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China. According to the affidavit, “The stated purpose of the agreement, which had a five-year effective term, was to ‘carry out advanced research and development of nanowire-based lithium ion batteries with high performance for electric vehicles.”

And:

“.....More recently, Lieber’s Harvard lab has shifted gears to integrate nanowires with biology. In 2017, for example, he reported creating soft, flexible 3D nanowire mesh that could be injected into the brains or retina of animals, unfurl and wrap around neurons, and eavesdrop on the electrical communication between cells.”

So that one day in the near future, brilliant scientists in the thrall of the CCP will be able to control sophisticated, even more deadly virus yet to be created, through electrical impulse, whilst sitting on a beach, drinking margaritas, or growing giants pumpkins...

Don’t tell anyone I said that.

If he joins forces with Gates and Fauci, they could kaboom the brains of all the un-vaccinated from a distance. That’ll fix the population problem.

Something evil this way comes.

I am not going to be vaccinated with anything at all.

No nanobodies inside the old blood circulation system for moi.
