3 Ways to Blow the Whistle
What is this about?
This article introduces three whistle-blowers and describes their journey in blowing a whistle.
- First one is about Uri Simonsohn of University of Pennsylvania who calls himself a data-whisperer. Uri was the one who blew the whistle on two famous cases of data fabrication and data manipulation, namely those involving Dirk Smeesters and Lawrence Sanna.
- The second case is about Helen Hil of University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey who persisted for nearly 14 years to expose Anupam Bishayee's misconduct and repeatedly failed.
- The third person uses the pseudonym "Clare Francis" to flag suspicious cases of plagiarism or figure manipulation/duplication.
Why is this important?
It describes different strategies that may be used for whistle-blowing and highlights the fact that not every suspicion is always worthy of exposure.
