So, my career is over.

I'm in solid state physics (finishing PhD), and just got off a meeting where my supervisor told me to publish results he knows are wrong. I know the reviewers won't be able to catch it, and I know it's wrong, and he knows it's wrong, and he told me to publish them anyway. I said I won't and he threatened to hurt my career opportunities. I further proved there are incorrect things published in literature, and he forbade me publishing anything about this, so as not to hurt his collaborations.

I don't give a fuck. I will not publish wrong things, and I will publish questions to the current wrong existing results. My supervisor will make sure my career never progresses but I don't give a fuck anymore. I didn't become a scientist to lie for money. My career is over but at least I can live with myself.

Fuck all of you who publish shitty research, knowingly or unknowingly. If this is happening in solid state physics I cannot imagine the kind of shit that goes on in less rigorous areas.
