I have many stories & feelings about Harvard after 15 years. Once upon a time when Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes came to receive an award, I confronted & accused her of scientific fraud. I was reprimanded privately after. The rest is history. H logo visible in my 2015 photo below

nbcnews.com
Monarezâs lawyers said she ârefused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives.â The White House responded that she was ânot aligned with the Presidentâs agenda.â
