Science Magazine retracted a high-profile study from December 2014 that claimed face-to-face conversations with gay canvassers could change attitudes toward same-sex marriage.

Ivan Oransky of Retraction Watch highlighted how the lead author was pressured to keep quiet about concerns to avoid being labeled a troublemaker.
