Fucking hilarious to me when people claim academics are motivated by the "money", eg, when claimed by climate deniers.

Undoubtably climate science is the exception and immune from fraudulent data generation and sometimes complete forgery

		I'm sure there's some, but the small point here is that it almost certainly is more motivated by factors other than financial gain. I'm sure it you search you can find such cases though. The much broader point though is the dismissal of the bulk consensus of academic research because academics are in it for the "money".
