"Like all academic institutions, we have an obligation to assure that harassment and misconduct of any nature are unacceptable in our academic environment and workplace. They are antithetical to a culture of support and mutual respect. Building a better culture...is a long journey that will require trust and commitment from everyone." — John Finnegan Jr., Dean of the School of Public Health.

In a letter addressed to School of Public Heath faculty, staff and students provided by the school, John Finnegan Jr. wrote Professor Brad Carlin "chooses to exercise his right to retire from the University of Minnesota effective June 11, 2018."

Nice explanation by our own Prof. Susan Wei about why the recent finding relating diet soda and dementia may not be significiant: the authors forgot to adjust for multiple comparisons (d'oh!). Way to work with to keep science researchers honest!
