Illmensee faces funding cutoff

Science. 1984 Apr 20;224(4646):265. doi: 10.1126/science.224.4646.265-b.

Abstract

KIE: Based on the findings of an international commission of inquiry, the Swiss national science foundation has withdrawn its financial support of Karl Illmensee, a University of Geneva embryologist who was accused last year of manipulating experimental protocols. The National Institutes of Health is still considering whether to resume funding Illmensee's work. Loss of financial support could make it difficult for Illmensee to carry out the international commission's recommendation that he repeat the challenged experiments.
