"Gino, a behavioral scientist who became famous for studying honesty and ethical behavior, was accused of manipulating observations to better support her conclusions.”
That sentence captures the essence of what Harvard (Veritas my a$$) has become.
Will anyone be fired at the those medical journals publishing fraudulent studies? Anyone covering up Biden's health? So much accountability needs to happen. Thank you, John. I appreciate your great work.
WOW! one professor fired for falsifying data and or a ludicrous premise.
I wish this firing would be a trend at Harvard plus universal art ALL academic institutions.
I know; firing professors is just a fantasy. Administration's can't admit their mistakes, hide errors if they know, and dutifully follow the adage; ignorance is bliss.
Forget intellectual curiosity, honesty or responsibility.
It's all about bringing in the dollars and publishing.
UNIVERSITIES ARE a BUSINESS ‼️ Yet avoid that reality like the plague.
As if she is the rare academic at Harvard who skews data to support a preconceived outcome for their “research” !!!! I guess, under their currently embattled circumstances, someone needed to be thrown over the parapet of the ivy tower to the angry pitched forked peasants below, and she happened to be “it”.
Her “takedown” was a decoy. Are any of the other Harvard researchers now currently functioning as sorcerers of data for the medical industrial complex going to suddenly realize the harm their lies do and stop their corrupted research?
Aside from the obvious - you can’t make this stuff up—an honesty professor canned for being dishonest, she got a $1M annual salary to come up with a signature box at the beginning of a form??? Do you suppose I could get Harvard to pay me a $1M to research how stupid universities can be?
“Stupid is as stupid does”, defined by Forrest Gump, who to the 8% of the elite minded class of my 1960’s Boomer generation protestors at university said Forest was the “sucker” and worse for serving his country.
Now it is six decades later and we find that those who convinced us they were the smart ones have in deed put the clothes in the dryer, but they never turned on the washer.
Perhaps canceled, leveled, destroyed, undone would be better terms. Regardless, tenure just like a minimum wage is not a guarantee if circumstances change. In reality, tenure doesn't exist if you're fired just as minimum wage is really 0$/ hour if you don't have a job.
How many more of these high-flying academic types have to be caught red-handed committing fraud, plagiarism, faking studies, etc. before they are all kicked to the curb? We've learned over the past five years that the pharmaceutical industry, the illness-care industry, medical doctors, nurses and academia's supposed top-notch professors from the most well-known universities are basically not fit to sweep the streets. No wonder many young people are dumping the idea of college and taking up the trades such as electricians, plumbers, HVAC, etc!
It seems it was a lowly grad student who first doubted Gino, and was unable to replicate her findings. But the real tipoff might have come from one of Gino's own papers, now retracted: "Evil Genius? How Dishonesty Can Lead to Greater Creativity." Clearly, dishonesty worked for quite a while for the genius professor.
But fraud isn't limited to social science. The former editors of two of the top medical journals have written that 50% of what those journals publish can't be replicated or trusted. Many here probably remember that a paper damning the use of hydrochloroquine for Covid-19, published by both the Lancet and the NEJM, was retracted in something like two weeks when at least two of the authors confessed they'd never had access to the apparently made-up data provided by the third author. And the fraud long pre-dates Covid. Dr. Beatrice Golumb has for decades been doing wonderful exposes on the conflicts of interest that have long plagued pharmaceutical papers--example from 2011 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZHyLODgUvs.

Wonder if she signed her paper before she wrote this piece of crapola?

Are there ANY honest democrats?
NO.
Golly, I thought all ethicists were just wonderful people, like that lovely Mrs. Fauci.

They may be a lot of things but they are not stupid. We paid for it.

So no more 'tenure' then. How can tenure be ''revoked" - if that is the case then it was never tenure, was it? What lovely times we are living in.
Perhaps canceled, leveled, destroyed, undone would be better terms. Regardless, tenure just like a minimum wage is not a guarantee if circumstances change. In reality, tenure doesn't exist if you're fired just as minimum wage is really 0$/ hour if you don't have a job.
Good riddance!
How did they find anyone at Harvard that could determine she had been dishonest?

Look at the medical organization, CommonSpirit!
Besides Gino, there were four other people on this silly project. All five of them should've seen the fraud.
Seems money will make you unethical if not amoral !
I think returning the ill gotten 1 million per year would be the honest thing to do😂
