Navigating Through Research Misconduct and Personal Growth

The speaker shares their experience facing a misconduct case during their time at Harvard while studying morality in monkeys, which lasted for five years but was unintentional. Despite the setback of retracting a paper, their results were later independently replicated by two labs, leading to reflections on career impact and post-traumatic growth. The chapter also discusses the speaker's transition to utilizing their skills in meaningful ways, teaching critical thinking to children, and the use of innovative treatments like MDMA-assisted therapy for conditions such as major depression and PTSD.
