Fritz Verzár, founder and one of the most important operator of experimental gerontology, was born 120 years ago at Budapest (Hungary) and passed away in 1979 at Basel (Switzerland) at the age of 93. This short paper, as well as the following one in this issue by Robert [Robert, L., 2006. Fritz Verzár was born 120 years ago: his contribution to experimental gerontology through the collagen research as assessed after half a century. Arch. Gerontol. Geriatr. 43, 13-43], intends to commemorate his human and scientific merits, which remained valid even after long decades after his death. The author of this paper was the last Hungarian pupil of Verzár; therefore, a personal touch of this commemoration could not be avoided and was not even wanted. Verzár was an exceptionally clever and realistic scientist and at the same time, a warm-hearted and honest man, who is remembered with deep respect and love.

Eric T. Poehlman, Ph.D., was an internationally recognized, tenured professor at the University of Vermont (UVM) in Burlington when, in October 2000, a junior member of Poehlman's laboratory became convinced that he had altered data from a study on aging volunteers from the Burlington area. This suspicion developed into one of the most significant cases of scientific misconduct in the history of the US Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of Research Integrity (ORI), launching a US Department of Justice (DOJ) civil and criminal fraud investigation and, eventually, to a much publicized guilty plea and felony conviction. In the end, Dr. Poehlman admitted to 54 findings of scientific misconduct made by the UVM and ORI, agreed to retract or correct ten of his publications and to exclude himself from federal procurement and nonprocurement transactions for life. The United States Government's handling of this case was distinguished by a highly cooperative approach that integrated the resources of the US Attorney's Office for the District of Vermont (USAO) and both ORI and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) in HHS in the common goal of prosecuting research fraud.
