A Harvard University investigation into behavioral scientist Francesca Gino, renowned for her studies on dishonesty, has concluded that she engaged in research misconduct by manipulating data. The probe was sparked by allegations that Gino had accused a colleague of altering her research data to frame her for dishonesty, a claim Harvard Business School (HBS) found unconvincing. An unsealed 1,300-page report detailed the findings of the investigation, leading to recommendations for Gino's termination. The case has ignited discussions on academic integrity and the mechanisms in place at prestigious institutions like Harvard to address research misconduct.
