Anyway, in the lab there is very strong pressure for things to look right. Some students and postdocs play ball, and enjoy great success in their careers. Some get a little squicked out (use of funds, and the science, seemed to be possible areas of concern), wrap things up quietly and remain on good terms. One or two have major concerns and just kinda disappear.
