"The chairman of Harvard’s department of chemistry and chemical biology was arrested and charged Tuesday with lying about his links to a Chinese university, the latest case to surface in the US government’s crackdown on suspected espionage and scientific theft."

Three guesses as to what Chinese city the University is in.:rolleyes:

To be paid $50,000 PER MONTH?!

Is there a Thousand Talents Recruiting Officer near me? Because I have some super secret squirrel fossils that I’d be willing to bring to the table. I’m just going to need an advance on my first 5-years salary and a $10,000,000 startup fund paid in cash.

Charles Lieber is a huge deal in science circles. This is pretty wild; it seems like all he had to do to not commit federal crimes here was not lie to the NIH and DoD.

"Gee, can I take my laptop full of classified info to China on vacation with me?"

MAGA is! Stopping China from stealing trade secrets and going after the traitors in this country, for one. Here's another recent example: https://www.zdnet.com/article/raytheon-engineer-arrested-for-taking-us-missile-defense-data-to-china/

Pretty much.

There is no rule against working for a foreign government. You just can’t lie to the Feds about it.

Now, it remains to be seen if he shared information with China that was protected under NDAs with NSF/NIH/DOD/Harvard/etc. Those could run the gamut of criminal to civil charges if so. Not uncommon for folks who have big dinero grants to have NDAs of types with their home institutions.
