The third episode of the Element of Truth podcast revolves around some more case studies of scientific misconduct, such as data cherry-picking and falsification, in the field of environmental chemistry. The discussion highlights the repercussions of these actions and suggests some solutions to these problems.

Emma Jordan, Kyle Mailer, Calum Turnbull and Roberta Vengrovska make up the four voices you'll hear chatting on (and off) this topic.
