Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description
In this episode of The Skillful Art of Manipulation, we explore the chilling reality of academic fraud and the "boiled frog" effect of professional coercion. When a junior researcher discovers her mentor, a world-renowned lead scientist, has been faking data for a high-stakes pharmaceutical study, she faces an impossible choice. Promised a senior fellow position and lead-author credit, she realizes too late that her promotion was actually a calculated move to make her the primary target of a federal investigation.
