Following the retraction of six of his studies, Prof. Brian Wansink, founder of Cornell’s Food and Brand Lab, has now been exposed for not following through on a project that raised over $10,000 in an online fundraiser.
Prof. Brian Wansink, founder and director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, has retracted five studies in the last year, staining the reputations of the University and his students, those who worked with him say.
Cornell has determined that Prof. Brian Wansink, a prominent food researcher, handled data inappropriately but that his errors “did not constitute scientific misconduct.”
The founder and director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab has come under fire in recent months from researchers who allege that he co-authored papers with more than 150 data inconsistencies, used shoddy methods of data analysis and reused nearly-identical text in multiple publications.
