A child who committed fraud to win a $50,000 prize at an international science fair is under scrutiny for using stolen images and data. The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair winner in the environmental engineering division cheated to claim a $55,000 cash prize. The incident has raised questions about potential consequences and the possibility of rescinded college admissions.
This is very disheartening A major @Regeneron Young Scientist Award It's now come out that many (all?) of the major elements are plagiarized or just picked up from unrelated work and pasted in the submission Will @Regeneron claw back the award? https://t.co/0Fov0z12vf
Fraud spotters say they've nailed a winner of the Regeneron Young Scientist Awards and it looks damning. (the science fair previously known as Westinghouse, then Intel, competition.) https://t.co/UHzwvlhxJa https://t.co/blicD0OsnP
Fraud at science fair? Seems like there should be severe consequences. I would think any college would rescind admission? https://t.co/rI2B8OulY7
