Who fakes cancer research? Apparently, lots of people.

Boston Globe via Getty ImagesFaked cancer data is the latest sign of science’s fraud problem. Last summer, I covered the saga of Harvard Business School’s Francesca Gino, who was credibly accused of flagrantly fabricating data in at least four of her published studies.

America has a good model for how to handle immigration: America

The Statue of Liberty, as seen on August 14, 2019. | Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesThe US knows how to resettle refugees. Why can’t it figure out what to do with the current wave of migrants?

Driving at ridiculous speeds should be physically impossible

Kevin Burbach/Associated PressReckless speeding is epidemic in the US. This simple technology could save tens of thousands of lives. Speeding plays a role in over 12,000 US car fatalities per year, around a third of the national total. But an emergent technology could dramatically reduce that death toll, if not eliminate it entirely. The auto industry has done little to address speeding, and it may be worsening the problem.

With a booming commercial space industry that has put an unprecedented number of new satellites in... Read more ›
