Eric Poehlman was hired by the University of Montréal and obtained a senior Canadian Chair position from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in 2002. He held a professorship position in the department of nutrition at our university and was dismissed when we learned of his misconduct at the University of Vermont. The news of Dr. Poehlman's scientific fraud was a devastating blow to all Canadian scientists and students who worked with him. The possibility that scientific misconduct by Dr. Poehlman had ...References1. Sox HC, Rennie D. Research misconduct, retraction, and cleansing the medical literature: lessons from the Poehlman case.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
