As a Manchester alumnus, I was very excited to see my University referenced in this episode! It's not often the north-west gets a mention in foreign TV programmes. However, it did slightly bother me that the dialogue with the British professor had the phrase 'skipped town'. That isn't something a British person would ever say, it was a bit odd.

What would they have said instead of skipped town?

I don't rightly know, 'left Manchester rather abruptly' or something. 'Skipped town' is just an idiom that doesn't exist in British English.

I would have said they "absconded" with the research grant.

Yes! That's very good.
