Episode 18 - Don't Lie

Recorded prior to the COVID19 outbreak, this episode takes up the question of dishonesty in academia. From the temptation to pad your CV, to misrepresenting your research results, there are many places large and small where the potential to lie arises. Karen and Kel talk about why you must not. Not just because of ethics and bad karma, but because it usually comes back to bite you in the ass.
