Dyson Endowed Chair in the Applied Economics and Management Department at Cornell University, where he directed the Cornell Food and Brand Lab.Wansink's lab researched people's food choices and ways to improve those choices.
Starting in 2017, problems with Wansink's papers and presentations were brought to wider public scrutiny.
These problems included conclusions not supported by the data presented, data and figures duplicated across papers, questionable data including impossible values, incorrect and inappropriate statistical analyses, and "p-hacking".
The lab had 17 papers retracted (one twice) and had 15 corrections issued.
On September 20, 2018, Cornell determined that Wansink had committed scientific misconduct and removed him from research and teaching, limiting his activity to cooperating with further investigation of his papers; he resigned effective June 30, 2019.
