Everybody Lies, And That's Not Always A Bad Thing

Corrected on July 28, 2023

Since this episode first aired, researchers have raised concerns about a number of studies authored by Dan Ariely, including one cited in this episode. That study included data from an insurance company that purported to show that people are more truthful when they sign an ethics declaration at the beginning of a form than at the end. In an independent review, a group of researchers found evidence of data fabrication in that study. You can read more about their findings here, along with Dan Ariely's response. The insurance company that provided the data, The Hartford, released a statement to NPR's Planet Money in July 2023. In that statement, the company said that it had done a review of its records and that "there appear to be significant changes made to the size, shape and characteristics of our data after we provided it and without our knowledge or consent." You can hear the full Planet Money story and read the full statement from The Hartford here.

How law enforcement is promoting a troubling documentary about 'sextortion'

Corrected on March 14, 2023

An earlier version of this story did not include the findings of David Finkelhor's research about the prevalence of sextortion.

In an earlier version of this story, the filmmakers claimed that that a statistic they cited (that "the world of online grooming and sextortion" is "a present-day reality for one in seven children online") came from a survey conducted by Thorn, an anti-sex trafficking nonprofit. After this story was published, Thorn told NPR that this statistic does not come from its survey.

This story has been updated to reflect that the Department of Justice seal is no longer displayed on the film's website as a "partner."

7 tiny hacks that can improve your to-do list

Corrected on March 14, 2023

In a previous version of this digital story, we did not mention that Angel Trinidad, the founder and CEO of Passion Planner, and Life Kit reporter/producer Andee Tagle have been friends since college. We asked Trinidad share their experience with us, not because of this personal relationship, but because four other Life Kit staffers independently discovered Passion Planner and found it to be a useful tool to help them manage their time. This disclosure originally only appeared in the audio version of this story, but should have also been included in the digital story at the time of publication.

Corrected on March 1, 2023

This story, which includes excerpts from a story that aired in 1993, neglects to mention the significant contribution of scientist Rosalind Franklin, who produced the crucial X-ray photograph of DNA that was later used by Watson and Crick.

Corrected on February 23, 2023

An earlier version of this story mistakenly said the proposed registry of people convicted of animal abuse would include Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers.

Also, an earlier version incorrectly said that under Florida Senate Bill 932, dogs in motor vehicles would need to be in a crate, be in a harness or pet seat belt, and be under the supervision of someone other than the driver. In fact, dogs would need to ride under only one of those three conditions.

That calculation yields the case fatality rate. Mortality rate is the number of deaths in a population over a period of time — for instance, the number of deaths per 1,000 people each year.

The Push To Redefine 'Black' And End Anti-Racist Voter Protections

Corrected on January 3, 2023

A previous version of this story incorrectly said Republican state lawmakers in Louisiana are pushing to change the way Black people are counted in the census. In fact, the push is focused on changing the way Black people are counted when voting maps are redrawn. The previous version also incorrectly implied that the lawmakers brought that push to the U.S. Supreme Court and that the court's next term includes a case that could dismantle a portion of the Voting Rights Act. In fact, the lawmakers did not, and the court's next term currently does not include such a case.
