A rehash of the 1980s-era Golden Fleece Award, frequently targeting odd-sounding studies. Researchers who lost funding for frivolous reasons referred to it as getting Proxmired. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Fleece_Award
If nobody did basic research in categorizing and cultivating Thermus aquaticus bacteria found in hot springs, we wouldn't have modern DNA tests.
The first study described was conducted in 1975.
