the current editor-in-chief of the british journal "lancet," dr.orton, wrote a scathing editorial saying, "much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. science has taken a turn towards darkness." annie waldman: be skeptical about everything. be skeptical about every study that you read, whether it's in the "new england journal of medicine" or some journal you've never heard of. sharyl: annie waldman writes for the nonprofit propublica. annie waldman: well, in academia, there are a lot of expectations. some of it is the influence of wanting to get a promotion, wanting to get tenure, wanting to get another job somewhere else. if you get a result which is not what you want, do you still go ahead and publish it? perhaps you have millions of dollars of funding behind it. sharyl: besides misleading doctors and the public, fake science and provable fraud can cost taxpayers millions. dr. eric poehlman got $2.9 million in federal grants and published hundreds of medical articles on obesity and menopause before he got caught fabrica
