    29: What's wrong with Academia? Data Fraud from Harvard Professor Francesca Gino

    This episode explores the potential motivations behind Harvard Professor Francesca Gino's data fraud. Data Colada researchers Uri Simonsohn, Leif Nelson and Joe Simmons found significant evidence of data manipulation, which was later given to Harvard. This led to the retraction of four papers and a recommendation to fire Gino. What might motivate someone to manipulate data and to commit fraud? Dr. Connor Wood explains some troubling trends within Higher Education. Wood studies what the contemporary sciences have to say about human nature. His PhD in religious studies is from Boston University, and he has written and published widely on the cognitive science of ritual. You can read his Substack here (https://cultureuncurled.substack.com) and learn more about his research here (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Connor-Wood). A convert to Catholicism, Connor writes and translates poetry for fun and also goes rock climbing (usually not at the same time).
