Robert McNeesNature desk-rejected their paper!
This is right up there with the way the Nobel Committee used to tweet happy birthday to Russell Hulse, then mention that it also happened to be the anniversary of Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovering pulsars.
The definition of chutzpah is killing your parents, then begging the court to have mercy because you're an orphan.
Penn demoted Karikó, removing her from the tenure track and making her an "adjunct associate professor." They also cut her salary. They should be issuing a public apology. Completely shameless.
Kat O’Brien@mcnees I posted yesterday that I hope Penn (I went there for grad school) comes with a big bonus and hefty back pay, here they are acting all proud she’s there when they haven’t acted as such. I didn’t even realize until this morning (I’m in Europe) that she doesn’t have tenure! Meanwhile, they will fundraise so much off having a Nobel Prize winner faculty member. Embarrassing.
