The fakery behind a study on canvassing to change minds about gay marriage came to light 10 years ago thanks to two then-graduate students. I caught up with them to see what has -- and hasn't -- changed in the last decade. My latest for Retraction Watch retractionwatch.com/2025/06/06/sam…

Once upon a time, two science journalists had an idea for a blog about retractions. And on Aug. 3, 2010, Retraction Watch launched. Fifteen years and 6,700 posts later, that work seems more important than ever. Happy 15th anniversary, Retraction Watch. retractionwatch.com/2025/08/01/hap…
