from The Skillful Art Of Manipulation | Mastering Psychology & Influence · host Joe & Ryan

When a junior researcher discovers her mentor, a world-renowned lead scientist, has been faking data for a high-stakes pharmaceutical study, she faces an impossible choice. Promised a senior fellow position and lead-author credit, she realizes too late that her promotion was actually a calculated move to make her the primary target of a federal investigation.
