About this episode

What happens when a research scientist decides to abandon the norms of selective reporting and embrace complete honesty in their scientific work for 30 days? This episode follows Dr. Emily as she navigates the complexities of data integrity, peer pressure, and the ethical dilemmas of truth-telling in academia. From revealing unexpected results to confronting biases in her research team, we explore how radical openness impacts her relationships with colleagues, the scientific community, and the integrity of her findings. Join us as we uncover the transformative effects of transparency in the pursuit of knowledge and the implications for future research practices. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
