Brett Dahlberg, NPR; Cornell Food Researcher's Downfall Raises Larger Questions For Science
"The fall of a prominent food and marketing researcher may be a
cautionary tale for scientists who are tempted to manipulate data and
chase headlines.
Brian Wansink, the head of the Food and Brand
Lab at Cornell University, announced last week that he would retire from
the university at the end of the academic year. Less than 48 hours
earlier, JAMA, a journal published by the American Medical Association, had retracted
six of Wansink's studies, after Cornell told the journal's editors that
Wansink had not kept the original data and the university could not
vouch for the validity of his studies."
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
