From what I've seen there's like one or two AIDS researchers with the name William MacLeod. I do not know if that is his fathers name, but that guy seems to have been been in South Africa and Kenya. The one from Boston College is the most likely, I want to cross reference his research with any we can find on this guy because he sounds like a fraud or someone who bought his degree.I've tried to look on various places (Nottingham uni, PubMed, biorxiv) for any sign of a thesis or publication and cannot find any from Duncan.
So he's either totally lying about something (his presented name online, or having a degree or publication to begin with), or it's a taught MSci which doesn't include publications and is generally more exam work iirc (I wouldn't know particularly well, didn't do one). If I remember right Nottingham is decent for biology, but it's obviously not Russell Group (the uni ranking systems are a scam anyways).
Would also like to find out the name of his father to try and find his papers, if he helped his son cheat a dissertation I wouldn't be shocked to find fraudulent results in his research (i.e. duped images). Finding academic frauds in general is a favorite of mine.
I have no problem with some guy realizing more money is to be made elsewhere, but this guy acts like he knows what he's talking about. I'm a schizo who hangs out in A&N, but I have a background in science and will never take a study at face value. This guy licks the fucking boot and he's just smug.
