This is a blog post by then-professor & consumer behavior and marketing researcher Brian Wansink
He was the executive director of the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion as well as directing the Cornell Food and Brand Lab
Following this blog post in which he nonchalantly describes p-hacking null-results until papers come out, his methods caught the attention of statisticians, and, not long after, Cornell, who proceeded to conduct a formal investigation in which they determined that he had committed scientific misconduct and removed him from all teaching and research positions.
