In Dan Vergano's article "Scientists Explain Why They Plagiarize," He states that " About 42% of the duplicates also contained botched data, calculations or images." This shocking statistic is something that I would never have even guessed that professionals in fields would just create data out of thin air. This is something that I would hope stops in the future. The supposed "reliable" data from "Professionals" needs to actually be reliable.
Another quote that I particularly liked was one of the first articles we read, "A Circuitous Path to Professional Dilettantism," by Emily Callaghan. She states " How do 18-year-olds know what they want to do with the rest of their lives? lives that will last far longer than ever? with retirements that will come way late in the game?" This quote is the opening sentence for Emily's article, and its a real attention grabber for a freshman in college. I really enjoyed her article, but her opening sentence was what really caught my eye and made me think about my own plans for the rest of my life.
