The scapegoating of Nathan Cofnas

On the podcast, I speak with Nathan Cofnas, the academic who revealed the truth about Jason Arday to the world (and was punished viciously for doing so)

Nathan Cofnas ⁠is an American postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University in Belgium, focusing on the philosophy of biology and ethics, with a particular interest in scientific and ethical controversies connected with evolution-informed social science. After publishing ⁠an article detailing the truth⁠ about plagiarist and fabulist, Jason Arday (now deceased), Cofnas was subject to mass condemnation and ⁠protest⁠. He was vilified as a racist and suspended by Ghent University, under ⁠investigation ⁠for "discrimination." I spoke with Nathan about his work, his views on DEI, and the backlash he received in response to his article.
