Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself. (Winston Churchill)

According to Spiegel, there are 2 studies about radiation from mobile phones from a renowned University of Vienna were faked. The values of the studies were faked over the years by a laboratory technician. She fabricated them herself. The truth came to light when the university commissioned a commission to review the studies. The studies seem to be withdrawn after this incident. As the article from der Spiegel says, the employee was caught in an attempt to manipulate the data. She has now admitted the fact of manipulation. There remains the question of how it could be that the senior professors don’t noticed anything over the years?
As for me, I read this report with mixed feelings. I’m upset because there are people who try keep their own interests by confusing the other people. But of course I am glad that these studies are not correct. Mobile phone is for me, as for many people the must have thing. I can not renounce on my phone. I use it to call my friends and to surf in the Internet via GPRS. And even if I do not this, many people do it the whole day in my vicinity. That happens in the train, bus, at the university or in the supermarket and does not depend on my will. The modern man can’t do anything against it. Therefore, it is gratifying that the results of these studies are not correct. Stop, the results are invented, but that does not mean that they could not be correct? Happy too soon? How annoying!
