“University of Minnesota’s Dana Mowls Carroll led a team of researcher to produce a paper about the ‘polarization within the field of tobacco and nicotine science and its potential impact on trainees’. The paper, published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research, warns about the impact on scientific rigor if juniors are influenced by their line managers. A striking case in point is that of the anti-vape/tobacco harm reduction hothouse at the University of California San Francisco. Not even being subjected to sexual harassment, racial slurs and having the authorship of her work stolen by Stanton Glantz shook the institutional brainwashing of Dr Eunice Neeley. The millions of dollars flooding through Glantz’ department corrupted all it came into contact with; academic and scientific rigor fell by the wayside in the quest to produce the kind of findings the funders want to see.“
