I want results, not someone who has to churn out papers to meet their academic requirements. Go where the resources are.

Yeah GSK is definitely where the resources are. To circumvent regulations and laws.

Fuck actual research right?

See my comment above where I contributed my DNA to Harvard’s genome project. I approve all requests to use it in partner studies. Not sure what else you’re expecting, but my opinion is that your expectations are unrealistic.

If you don’t like the law, fix the law. If you have evidence a drug company or data provider violated the law, report them to your attorney general.
