Cory J. Clark is the Director of the Adversarial Collaboration Project at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a behavioral scientist whose work has focused on how social motivations influence human judgment and empirical beliefs; how scientists evaluate science, and in-group political bias.

Clark received the 2024 Exceptional Scholarship Award from Heterodox Academy for her ability to organize large-scale collaborative research projects to expose and understand bias and censorship in science; and for her leadership of the Adversarial Collaboration Project that uses constructive disagreement methods to resolve contradictory findings in the scientific literature. Clark is a role model for translating Heterodox Academy’s principles of viewpoint diversity and constructive disagreement into research methods to further truth-seeking in science. She has recently led large research collaborations that have been published in PNAS, Perspectives on Psychological Science, and Psychological Science.
