Ivan Oransky is an MD, although he doesn’t have quite enough psychiatric training to diagnose why someone would leave medicine for journalism. A cofounder of Retraction Watch, a blog about scientific retractions, Ivan is also distinguished writer in residence at New York University’s Arthur Carter Journalism Institute. He has held positions at MedPage Today, Reuters Health,Scientific American, The Scientist, and the sadly defunct Praxis Post.
