Food psychologist Brian Wansink has submitted his resignation to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and will retire at the end of the academic year, according to a 20 September statement from the university.<\/p>\n
The move comes as Cornell announced the findings of its internal investigation that concluded that Wansink \u2015 who is known for his work on how environmental factors such as packaging influence what people eat \u2015 had committed academic misconduct.<\/p>\n
In its statement, Cornell said that its year-long investigation determined that Wansink had misreported research data, used \u201cproblematic\u201d statistical techniques and failed to properly document his results.<\/p>\n
Wansink admitted to \u201csome typos, transposition errors, and some statistical mistakes\u201d in an emailed statement to\u00a0Nature<\/i>. But he said that they did not change the conclusions of his papers \u201cwith only one debatable exception\u201d. He added that there \u201cwas no fraud, no intentional misreporting, no plagiarism, or no misappropriation\u201d.<\/p>\n
On 19 September, the\u00a0Journal of the American Medical Association\u00a0<\/i>retracted 6 of Wansink\u2019s papers, bringing the total number of studies the researcher has had retracted to 13.<\/p>\n
The university says that Wansink has been removed from teaching and research responsibilities and will spend the remainder of the academic year cooperating with Cornell’s ongoing review of his work.<\/p>\n
