This is from the blogpost that kicked off the replication crisis. In it, Wansink gave away that his nutrition lab was p-hacking He said this and had no idea he was admitting to p-hacking He didn't see anything wrong The top comment asked if he was joking. He said he's serious!

Nutrition science is the area of science that's suffered the most in the replication crisis. It is a graveyard of theories and pseudoscientific bullshit. Now: The HHS is going to make doctors to sit through 40 hours of classes where they'll have to take that bullshit seriously.
So many cases of academic misconduct are probably like this: unintentional. In Wansink's case, it's great that he was so daft, because he walked right into opening up a can of worms we still haven't closed. Link:
