Episode 11: Update

Glen wrote in with this clarification about Episode 11: Deconstructing Scientific Fraud:

You and Adam's podcast regarding Deconstructing Scientific Fraud
inspired me to write about this on my assigned topic English research
paper, "What is Academic Integrity?"

While doing heavy research into many articles, I noticed a
discrepancy with something that you and Adam had mentioned. It's a
small point, but I thought I'd point it out. It is true that Dr. Jon
Sudbo created data consisting of 250 out of 908 patients with the same
birthday. However, the reason he was caught was actually because he
claimed he had gathered information from a National Database that
wasn't yet available at the time he was doing his research.


Thanks for the info Glen!
