@Stopworkplacebu In academia, some have an image to protect. It's an environment of fierce competition, "success" and egos. Bad actors only chase the next big PR mention, or sexy results, and they do "show science." They feel they can't afford the time to spend doing careful science.
@simon_schama I think b/c the Dem party was maligned for so long without push back. People became afraid to vote for Dem candidates. Homes were divided by upbringing and news sources. It was disconcerting to be out of sync like that at gatherings if you married into different viewpoints.
@Stopworkplacebu A grad student seemed to have created some data out of thin air and I asked her about it, and then mentioned it to someone. Big mistake.
