Sociologist Jason Arday has resigned from Cambridge University after being accused of rampant fraud.
Now his very inspiring memoir is about to come out from Simon & Schuster, and it's already an Editor's Pick on Amazon!
This won't end well:
- Psychologists Jonathan Haidt and Peter Gray were once allies in the fight against the ONE BIG THING that is destroying children's lives. Then they had a disagreement over which THING, exactly, is the BIGGEST THING of all... from @kait_tiffany
- Remember the "disappearing scientist" uproar of 2002, in the midst of the anthrax scare, when a bunch of microbiologists died mysteriously over a few months? (It turned out not all were microbiologists, the deaths were not mysterious, etc etc etc)
- Is there any lower form of journalism than the "holiday debunker"? Here I inaugurate a new series of holiday-debunker debunkers. First up: DON'T BELIEVE THE MYTH ABOUT THE MYTH ABOUT THE 'TURKEY COMA'Every Thanksgiving, articles debunk the idea that turkey makes you sleepy. But this only seems to make people more confused about what the big holiday meal does to you, @danengber writes. theatlantic.com/health/2025/11…
- PBS is really going for it. (gift link) theatlantic.com/culture/archiv… h/t to @antkaufman for breaking the story
