Identify this real instance of a fallacy in scientific research, and then briefly discuss what damage can be done when people falsify results like this: “Researcher Glenn Begley was trying to replicate a study of tumor growth in animals, based off of a scientific paper written by an unnamed researcher (Couzin-Frankel, 2013, p. 68). But for some reason, Begley could not seem to get the same outcome that the researcher did (Couzin-Frankel, 2013, p. 68). So in 2011, Begley met with the unnamed researcher and described his dilemma, to try and understand what he was doing wrong (Couzin-Frankel, 2013, p.68). The researcher explained that out of the 12 trials conducted in the experiment, only one was successful, and that was the trial that was published (Couzin-Frankel, 2013, p. 68).”
