Episode 75
In recent years, the media has been rife with stories about prominent scientists and labs manipulating research data. Such behavior recently cost the president of Stanford University his job, and headline-grabbing findings in several disciplines have been discredited. Is this the canary in the coal mine signaling a much larger problem? Joe and Mark test the hypothesis that scientific data is hopelessly corrupted by examining the perverse incentives of the scientific industrial complex as well as the burgeoning infrastructure for investigating research discrepancies.
