Please bump this to the usual suspects. I don't know the list.
The report said one state scientist has acknowledged sending an additional three samples of bobcat hair taken from a pelt and labeled as lynx, but the laboratory reported that five samples were submitted.
Whoa there, maybe the WA state scientists really were trying (sloppily) to check for false positives! The WA state people were the ones who gave their samples non-existent location numbers.
Thanks!!
If you don't have such memos it is because you DIDN'T want a paper trail. And if you are hiding something then you knew it was wrong and that implies you were not doing it for the good of the science, but to try and pull the wool over the community's eyes.
