	The Smokers Club, Inc. - Allegations of Fake Research Hit New High
		And he apologized to Walter DeNino, the former protégé who turned him in, who was also sitting in the courtroom, several rows back on the prosecution’s side.
		Although DeNino trusted his boss implicitly, the change was too great to be explained by a handful of improperly entered numbers, which was all Poehlman claimed to have fixed.
		DeNino, who wore a dark suit and tie to the hearing, betrayed no emotion as the sentence was read.

		As a lab technician at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Walter DeNino had a gut feeling that something was amiss when his boss repeated a statistical analysis that DeNino had done and arrived at a different conclusion.
		DeNino was successful because he knew where that point was in his university's investigation policies.
		DeNino found that out when he was counter-accused of planting the falsified data.

	An Unwelcome Discovery - New York Times
		Professionally ambitious, DeNino graduated with a double major in nutritional sciences and dietetics at UVM and won several awards for the research he completed under Poehlman’s tutelage.
		DeNino’s task was to compare the levels of lipids, or fats, in two sets of blood samples taken several years apart from a large group of patients.
		As the patients aged, Poehlman expected, the data would show an increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which deposits cholesterol in arteries, and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which carries it to the liver, where it can be broken down.

	Respectful Insolence: Jail for scientific misconduct?
		It's rarely just one person who notices the problem; however it is usually only one person who is brave enough or stubborn enough to risk destroying his or her career to pursue it.
		The easiest course of action for someone like DeNino is either acquiescence or, if he's unable to stomach what is going on, to find another lab to work in.
		He tried to destroy DeNino's credibility as a whistleblower and suggested that DeNino was homophobic (Poehlman is gay).

		The future business partners first connected in UVM nutrition classes, where their friendship was built upon a mutual passion for endurance sports and a shared tendency to approach study sessions like a grueling set of hill repeats.
		DeNino continued his career as an elite triathlete and pursued graduate school and obesity research in New York City.
		Displaying multi-tasking skills befitting guys invested in triathlon, DeNino juggles Trismarter.com with the demands of being back at UVM as a medical student; Garand continues with his “day job” at the hospital and balances evenings with Trismarter.com work and family life with his wife, Heidi, and 18-month-old daughter, Taylor.

	Menopause Doc Fudged Data

		DeNino confronted him and turned him in to the university; they found it wasn't the first time.
		DeNino wants to become a researcher in his own right - he just no longer hopes to follow Poehlman's path.

	Stats: I wasn't making up data, I was imputing! (October 25, 2006)
		The first person to speak up about the possibility of fraud in Poehlman's work was one of his research assistants, Walter DeNino.
		He discovered not only reversed data points, but also figures for measurements that had never been taken and even patients who appeared not to exist at all.
		DeNino presented his evidence to the university counsel and the response of Poehlman to his department chair, Burton Sobel, was rather startling.

	The Endless Frontier » Blog Archive » More on Misconduct
		At 50, with his career in ruins and his reputation destroyed, Poehlman could only hope to avoid one final humiliation: becoming the first researcher sentenced to prison for scientific misconduct.
		Now, al least, finally, this seems to be a real case of scientific misconduct, carried out by an American scientist under the auspices of NIH, fortunately not judged in this case by some plebiscitarian American jury, but by a professional judge, as it is common in normal civilized nations.
		The only thing you dared so far in this blog was to promote your boss for the Nobel prize (and it has not worked).

	Seven Days: World of Make-Believe
		Former UVM College of Medicine prof Eric Poehlman, Ph.D., was at the top of the research game in 2000 when a courageous young lab technician and UVM grad named Walter DeNino challenged the professor's accuracy and honesty.
		In a seemingly groundbreaking UVM study on menopause, Poehlman had changed the numbers to show that menopause led to muscle loss and increased weight.
		Nonetheless, DeNino told us he's scheduled to enter UVM's College of Medicine in August.

	Boston.com / News / Education / Higher education / Researcher admits fraud in grant data
		DeNino, the lab technician, said in an interview that he does not know what Poehlman was thinking, but the benefits were clear: The fabricated data made his grant proposals more appealing and his papers more publishable, helping Poehlman become one of the better-funded researchers at the University of Vermont.
		DeNino said he did not notice anything amiss until October 2000, when Poehlman asked DeNino to analyze some preliminary results from a project called the Vermont Longitudinal Study of Aging.
		DeNino said Poehlman reacted strangely when he turned in his analysis of test results on about 150 women after menopause.

		In the fall of 2000, Walter DeNino was comparing measurements in some data Poehlman had given him when he found something odd.
		In late October 2000, as DeNinoâs suspicions festered, Poehlman was presented with the Lilly Scientific Achievement Award at the annual conference of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity.
		When Poehlman learned that DeNino was raising questions about data integrity with other people in the lab, they all but stopped talking to each other.
