My cynical mind wondered if they might possibly, just possibly be being exploited - or possibly not. If the latter is the case, then good on them for having a job and I am in full agreement with Less - but surely someone has to point out the possible flaws in any scenario?
I know where you live, was just checking you hadn't seen them on one of your forays.

I guessed you hadn't actually seen them, and that you had made a leap of faith which for a scientist is an anathema

Of course they are being exploited, but the last thing they need is to be accused of ripping off the taxpayer.

The only flaws in the scenario come from misinformation i.e someone adding an unnecessary compound to the petri dish
