Not saying this phenomenon of having connections isn't true, but also, kinda unrelated to the issue here, no?

This kid plagiarized & had serious research misconduct. The fact that he has connections via his sister & dad is not the problem imo.

I agree that research misconduct is different than what I'm describing. I think that students who conduct serious research with local universities (for example) should be celebrated. But I do think the issues are related in that Regeneron needs to think about the (lack of) systems in place for vetting and supporting projects of all types.
