​🧪 Science is supposed to be a search for truth—but ambition, ego, and career pressure can tempt even researchers to fudge the facts.

​Join us at The Sycamore for a talk with UC Berkeley professor Leif Nelson, whose work blends behavioral science with investigative rigor to uncover fraud hiding in plain sight.

​In this talk, Professor Nelson pulls back the curtain on the subtle (and sometimes shocking) ways falsehoods make it into published studies—and the growing movement to expose them. Along the way, he’ll share real-life cases that play out like academic crime dramas, complete with data sleuthing, suspicious statistics, and the occasional twist ending.

​If you’ve ever wondered how science polices itself—or what happens when it doesn’t—this one’s for you. 🧬🔎
