Two high profile honesty researchers, Francesca Gino & Dan Ariely, facing allegations of faked data & plagiarism is an obviously irresistible story, but I hope people reflect on the wider issues of perverse incentives within academia, & the compromises made by celeb researchers.

If you think there aren't many more questionable cases to be uncovered, including practices that make for less obviously buzzy stories, like bad study design, overstated claims, well, um. I suppose you might be right but my personal opinion is you aren't.
@TimClarePoet I just don't get it. Even with all the incentives, its just so lazy. I get the faked data, fine, but the really obvious plagiarism? Madness
