Not diabetes, but indicative of a nasty smell of corruption
in the research industry.

"Researchers Fail to Reveal Full Drug Pay

A world-renowned Harvard child psychiatrist whose work has
helped fuel an explosion in the use of powerful
antipsychotic medicines in children earned at least $1.6
million in consulting fees from drug makers from 2000 to
2007 but for years did not report much of this income to
university officials, according to information given
Congressional investigators."

More on the link.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

I wrote a follow-up to this on the ADA forum, and just
posted that on the blog:

fwiw, N.Y.T. still requires a "free" signup,
which i'm not inclined to do

i agree that big pharma (which = BIG profits)
is out of control

Up to you. NYT was one of the first news sources I signed up
for, nearly a decade ago. I have never had resulting spam or
any other problems from the site. I originally joined to do
their cryptic crossword; haven't done it for years but still
find it useful occasionally for articles like this.

I have very few sites like that I trust. Most of the others
are medical, like Medscape, The Lancet, NEJM etc.

That doesn't mean their journalists are better or worse than
any others, just that their web sign-up page seems OK.
