The Francesca Gino case ended with her being found guilty of data manipulation, exposed as a serial plagiarist, and losing her defamation suit against the Data Colada bloggers.

So funktionierte der bisher größte #Wissenschaftsbetrug des Jahrzehnts

Dr. Zoé #Ziani stand am Anfang ihrer Karriere, als ihr #Ungereimtheiten in den Arbeiten einer #Koryphäe der #Verhaltensforschung auffielen: Harvard-Professorin #FrancescaGino. Zianis Geschichte zeigt, wie man Datenfälschern auf die Schliche kommt, aber auch, wie gefährlich der Versuch für die eigene Karriere werden kann.

I've donated to the @datacolada #GoFundMe and made my name public.

I just want to say, also publicly, that my donation does NOT mean I feel certain that Francesca Gino committed fraud. I don't know what the truth is.

However, I do feel strongly that three individual scholars should not be facing a multimillion dollar lawsuit as a result of their scholarly activities.

I *also* believe that "data sleuths" have amassed a lot of scary power. We need a better system!
