    A corporation lied so they could harm people in the name of profit? Wow. I’m shooketh.

    Seriously though, good on these guys for uncovering this and good on The Lancet for retracting.

    Great. So when are scientific journals going to retract all the articles about the luminiferous ether they published in the 19th Century.

    It’s good to see these postal workers-in-training doing investigations in the public interest.

      postal workers-in-training

      Heh, no.

      Markowitz and Rosner, both emeritus professors at Columbia Mailman School in the Department of Sociomedical Sciences, have studied industrial pollution and contaminants since the early 1970s and have co-authored several books.

        I think these specialty schools are great, but they should probably modernize the name to be gender inclusive.

        If you ever want to go to a school where you can study quietly, consider the Colorado School of Mimes.

          I get that you’re trying to be witty, but … Well I don’t know what to say that isn’t mean. I just don’t think it’s funny anymore.

          For the hopelessly literal and pedantic, the School is named after Joseph L. Mailman, a business person that donated a bunch of money, not a gender exclusive profession.
