Harvard’s Dishonest Honesty Scientist Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg

A leading Harvard Business School researcher who focuses on dishonesty and unethical behavior has been accused of falsifying research results. It is hard to imagine a better reason why the public rightfully distrusts social science.

Professor Francesca Gino has authored dozens of studies on dishonesty and has been regularly cited as an authority on the subject by prominent left-leaning outlets such as National Public Radio and the New York Times. Now, both outlets admit that part of Gino’s research was likely fabricated.
