on COI Foot Dragging
and the Polly Situation

at the University of Minnesota

I am a big fan of Twitter. Facebook? Not so much.

To demonstrate the usefulness of Twitter, I retweet (RT) posts relevant to current foot-dragging on COI at the U and the Polly situation:

"..I would have been delighted to disclose." http://bit.ly/3Mf0Hz #UMN Dr. Polly on MPR Testify tomorrow? Would do things differently.

RT @matthewcw When do we start referring to #UMN med school as "scandal ridden" and will even that be enough to cause change?
