The amount of sociopathy required to fraudulently derail Alzheimers research worldwide for the sake of your own personal career is mind-boggling. If this is truly what happened here my anger at this individual will be... significant.

There was some quote by a Greek philosopher who said that intelligence and knowledge are not safeguards to immorality.

Reading the quotes from Ashe reminds me of some of the cops who plant evidence at crime scenes: they’re convinced they’ve already got the right suspect, and manufacturing evidence is just a convenient shortcut for persuading everyone else of their version of the truth.
