I told a colleague that I’m taking a few weeks off during the holidays to spend time with my family.
She wished me well and said that she hoped I would actually take a break and not actually work during my break.
Then we both chuckled uncomfortably.

Big Pharma, they call him. Tough guy. Really knows how to disappear a dataset.

They call him Big Pharma. Tough guy. Very shady. Really knows how to make a data set go missing.

This case was baffling. "Help me update my prior, friar", I said.
Rev. Bayes didn't laugh. But he got to work.

"Round up the usual suspects," I told her.
"But we don't have a clue!"
"True," I said. "But we do have a prior." #AcademicNoir #bayesbrain
This one's Psych Science, '98. Put your money on will replicate?
What, you think I was born yesterday? #AcademicNoir https://t.co/9IsukupIEK
We know you're in there. We've got your lab surrounded.
OK, I'll come out.
Don't move. Just email us the data. The *raw* data.

Well, if it isn't Mr. 4th-yr-grad-student-with-only-two-papers-published.
You're in the lab late! For a loser.

"How about we just delete those two data points?"
The lady looked shocked.
"Listen- you want to get this published, or not?" #AcademicNoir

@JNeuroscience of course it involves kittens and birthday cake. the kind of kittens and birthday cake a dame might kill for. #academicnoir
They called him "Big Pharma". A shady character. Really knew how to make a data set go missing. #AcademicNoir #AllTrials
"But you haven't even seen my numbers yet!" she said. "Just give Dr. Hacker some time alone with them," I told her. #AcademicNoir
"Who's shaking you down?" I said. "Elsevier," whispered the librarian. I showed her out. I still have to work in this town. #AcademicNoir
He had a good run, for a while. But then he got an email from @uri_sohn. Asked for the raw data. He was done. #AcademicNoir
"What happened to him, anyway? He always had great results." "Office of Research Integrity got him," I said. We all laughed. #academicnoir
"it's science. now we look for clues." "and that's fun?" "that's fun!" #academicnoir https://t.co/1YR6sVvvRM
"Well, your luck's about to change", I told Hacker. "The journals are running a new game. They call it 'preregistration'." #academicnoir
he held me back from running after, even though every cell in my body wanted to, "forget it, tim. it's tenure track." #academicnoir
it may have taken two years, but i'm so glad #academicnoir caught on. https://x.com/drosophilosophy/status/369965564380188672
He never took no for an answer. It was time to call him in. He had never met a dataset that he couldn't get a p<.05 out of. #academicnoir
wasn't just any journal wandering the dark streets. @JNeuroscience was a rogue. and we know what happens to rogue journals. #academicnoir
of all the mouse rooms and all the behavior cores in the world, this knockout had to walk into mine. #academicnoir
a hard rain fell outside. and as i nursed my aliquot of fbs, i knew the storm was only just beginning. #academicnoir
"haven't you tried to buy my loyalty with money?" "what else is there?" "tenure ... " #academicnoir
