From news section of Science magazine:

“ Drexel settles bar bill case

An investigation by Drexel University found that its former head of electrical and computer engineering spent $189,062 of federal grant money at strip clubs and sports bars and for other non-work-releated expenses over 10 years. Drexel, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania told the government that Chikaodinaka Nwankpa charged bills at Club Risque and other establishments from 2007 to 2017 to eight federal grants for energy and naval technology research, the U.S.Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania announced 7 October. In a settlement with the government Drexel agreed to pay back the money. Nwankpa resigned his position, repaid the university $53,328 and was barred from federal government contracting for 6 months, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. “

Research grants for strip clubbing should be part of Waffle's 2020 MAGA campaign

In the science community, there is a technical term for this guy: "Dumb Ass"

Actually it's the same term used in all other communities, but... yeah.

Besides the "fluid dynamics" angle, this is a whole new use of the term

"Government Issue"

Not good. If you want to do stuff like that, don't work on grants, for the government, or for corporations with other share holders.
