The precise consequences for a scientist whose work has been discredited will vary considerable from context to context. In general terms, however, scientists whose findings have been shown to be false will respond in one of several ways: First, they may refuse to accept the judgment made, perhaps by engaging in significant efforts to justify their work; second, they may return to their foundations and resume their work (presumably, in a more creditable fashion); third, and more rarely, they may give up their scientific work altogether, whether by choice or as a result of the severity of the reaction of the scientific community.
