After careful consideration, it was determined that the merit of Super-Asymmetry must stand on its own scientific proof rather than the professional downfall of competitors. [S12E21] The Plagiarism Schism
This report details the discovery of evidence suggesting that Dr. Gregory Pemberton engaged in academic plagiarism during his tenure at the University of Chicago. This information was brought to our attention during the competitive process for Nobel Prize consideration in Physics.

We chose not to leak the evidence to the Nobel Committee.
Dr. Leonard Hofstadter eventually confronted the rivals with the information. This led to a fracture between Campbell and Pemberton, effectively ending their joint campaign. 5. Conclusion Gregory Pemberton engaged in academic plagiarism during his
While competing for the Nobel Prize for our theory of Super-Asymmetry, we were approached by , who provided evidence that Dr. Pemberton’s doctoral thesis contained significant portions of uncredited material.
