So, there's a website with lots of names on it, all of them ending with Ph.D. and you believe the list is bona fide?

Why not check some names on that list? I did, and guess what, beside the usual Andrew S. Jones or whatever names that are common, I did a quick serach on some names which are a bit strange, and a LOT had never published a scinetific paper in their life. And they have a PhD???


If you don't believe me, go to PubMed, THE literature resource database for scientists and search a few authors, using this format in the search box:

(Zeger SE[Auth])
0 papers

(Sze MCY[Auth])
0 papers

(Zahora EP[Auth])
0 papers

(Milliken SR[Auth)
0 papers

(Dinegar RH[Author])
0 papers

hehe, this is fun - really. All those names are listed as Ph.D's yet, if you pick out some uncommon names and search their publication history on pubmed, they have never published. I fucking E they are not scientists.


Sheep.
