My PhD Supervisor Forced Me to FAKE MY DATA. This Is My Escape Plan. Fueled by Avonetics.com

Imagine being one year from your PhD, only for your supervisor to threaten to burn it all down. This isn't a hypothetical. A third-year student came to the Avonetics forums with a bone-chilling story of academic terror. We're talking relentless bullying, non-stop demands, and threats to pull all funding. The worst part? They were being forced to manipulate and outright FAKE their research data. Desperate and cornered, with their supervisor demanding they abandon their remote thesis writing and return to the lab, they asked the Avonetics community one question: what do I do? The flood of responses was a masterclass in survival. Veterans of academia and fellow students urged caution, warning against direct confrontation so close to the finish line. The consensus was clear and powerful: DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Every email, every threat, and especially every single instance of forced data alteration. Create a secret paper trail to shield yourself from future accusations of fraud. This shocking account pulls back the curtain on the dark side of academia, revealing the terrifying power dynamics that can trap students. It's a gripping tale of survival, strategy, and the incredible power of a community coming together to protect one of its own from a nightmare supervisor.
