I did not check this research which Mister Panteltje refers to. SPIE
is dodgy. Cf.

Massive Faculty Donations and Institutional Conflicts of Interest
Bart Kahr, Ph.D.i and Mark D. Hollingsworth, Ph.D.ii

Abstract
Most research universities have concrete policies for navigating the
conflicts of interest of faculty members. Policies that might
constrain university administrators acting on behalf of their schools, so-called institutional conflicts of interest, are absent or poorly
developed at most places that could benefit from them. Researchers
have argued for the illustration of institutional conflicts as a
foundation for policy development. Here, we show the failure of
research accountability when a faculty member made massive gifts to a
leading American public research university, the University of
Washington in Seattle, thereby creating allegiances that undermined
commitments to academic values. Correspondence, some from thousands of
pages acquired through the Washington State Public Records Act, show
faculty colleagues, department chairs, deans, a provost, presidents,
and the Board of Regents soliciting and accepting the donor's money
but not sufficiently guarding the integrity of science when that was
required. These records offer a rare look inside a university
scientific misconduct investigation, a process typically shrouded in
secrecy under the guise of confidentiality. They amount to a forensic
analysis of what can go wrong with science at the nexus of a secret
history of misconduct, spectacularly ambitious science, and large
donations. The inabilities of federal and state authorities to reckon
with institutional conflicts of interest are highlighted. The
collective inaction can be understood within LessigrCOs framework of institutional corruption. The failings described herein are
metaphorical holes in the safety net intended to protect the integrity
of American science, a shared practice that is under increasing
strain. All public records are available from the authors upon
request. Those cited here are included in an appendix posted by the
journal.

Four of the six papers,91,92,93,94were published by SPIE, The
International Society for Optics and Photonics, and were also
considered for retraction. Eric Pepper, Director of SPIE
Publications, chose not to act. He said, rCLRetracting one or
more of these papers as an outcome of this inquiry would
be a very consequential action on SPIErCOs part and would not
go unnoticed.rCY100 Pepper asked LD his opinion, and replied,
rCLProfessor Dalton claims he was not well informed about
your role in the development of the chromophore
material.rCY100 Pepper had the correspondence that showed
LDrCOs claim was untrue, but he deferred to LD, an SPIE
Lifetime Achievement Award winner.101"
