For those of you who haven't been reading blogs over the last week, but rather have been uh, living life and spending time with family, here's what you've missed:
- Patrick Harran and the UC regents were charged with 3 felony counts in the death of Sheri Sangji last Tuesday.
- A comment on 60 mL syringes
- Kevin Reed, UCLA's vice chancellor of legal affairs and their chief spokesperson on the case, lays out their PR approach
The best overall coverage is over at C&EN with Jyllian Kemsley's Safety Zone.
One aspect of this that hasn’t been talked about at all is what about the graduate students in the professors lab? Worst case scenario, if Patrick Harran goes to prison, what will happen to them during all of this? And even if that doesn’t happen, I can’t imagine they will be unaffected. Will the lab continue normal operations or will they be suspended? I assume that the school administration won’t penalize Harran or his lab in anyway, as this might be considered some sort of admission of guilt?
ReplyDeleteAnon, that is a hell of a good hypothetical.
