“‘Leading scholar’ at Harvard accused of fabricating findings in famous study on honesty: report”

See the link below. From the article:

”According to a report from the New York Times, "reverberations" are going through the academic community as one of the leading scholars in behavioral psychology has been accused of fabricating findings in a major study on honesty.

The report claimed that the field of behavioral science, an area of research often seen with much "skepticism" from other scientists, "may have sustained its most serious blow yet" thanks to evidence showing that Francesca Gino of Harvard Business School may have fabricated results in "multiple studies."

One of these was a study on honesty done in 2012, the results of which have "been cited hundreds of times by other scholars" since.”

Stuff like that never happens in mathematics.

That stuff is all made up.

That made me laugh out loud

 

[Nits1989]

My Dad used the term “soft sciences” to describe stuff like sociology and psychology. It inadvertently caused me to place much greater emphasis on the “real” sciences and math. Over the course of working as an attorney, I often wished I’d have placed a little more emphasis on the basics of the “soft sciences” and human nature. I thought I would have saved myself a lot of grief. But now this…

Except in California where there are no correct answers in math

The 10 Greatest Cases of Fraud in University Research

Universities are not Role Models for Ethical Behavior As a university professor I am quite interested in ethics in the academy. I have previously blogged about the commercialization of universities that can stifle academic freedom. Fraud can creep into research procedures, testing subjects, and...

Fraud is not limited to the “soft sciences.” More recently Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos fame went to jail for fraudulent bio medical claims.

Ethics are a thing of the past.

Ethics are a thing of the past.

Society laughs at ethics.

Ethics are a thing of the past.

Ethics weren't that great in the past either. Among most people, yes. But there has always been that group of non-ethical douchebags.

I missed the Grimes case at PSU. So we really do have a culture problem. At least my hate-us isn’t misplaced. That warms my heart.

A group that has grown tremendously

 

[BobPSU92]

By the way, when looking at the Grimes case in that top-ten list, We Are…Amateurs! Misused funds? Pfft. No wonder it was last on the list. We can’t even unethical right.

I hate us even more.

Please, you and your imaginary numbers.

There are specific signs in ASL for “real,” “complex,” and “imaginary” which correspond to their ordinary non-mathematical English usage as adjectives. In mathematics, these words aren’t adjectives, they are just the traditional names we use to identify specific number systems. (There is nothing complex about the complex numbers, nothing imaginary about the imaginary numbers.) As a result, I would never use these signs while teaching and would instead fingerspell the words: “r-e-a-l numbers,” “c-o-m-p-l-e-x numbers,” “I-m-a-g-I-n-a-r-y numbers.” I was fastidious that way.

Ethics are overrated!!

If it did, most of us wouldn’t know the difference…

It always make me laugh when people think people are worse today than they were in the past.
Just silly stuff.

Did you say something? Just had a flashback to pre-calc and the salaciousness of polar curves or maybe I'm thinking of my teacher. Either way I was confused thus migrating to the soft sciences.
