Funny to see @JeremyFarrar writing an 'explosive' book about his time with govt. Did he every consider speaking up during the past 18 months? How does it feel to be a whistleblower after supporting the dismissal of several whistleblowers (including myself) from @sangerinstitute ?
I guess you didn't speak up because of fear you might be victimised? After all, you're only the director of the Wellcome Trust? Remember those African institutions who got screwed over by the @sangerinstitute when their samples & data were used unethically without their consent.
What about your 'chaotic management' of that? The people who exploited data and samples from African communities are still there. And you're completely complicit in whitewashing this, and victimising many of us who were bullied & intimidated out. I was one of them. Remember me?
Maybe I should write an 'explosive' book on it.
This is sadly the act of someone who's trying to distance himself from a sinking ship - someone who had a lot of power but did very little to speak up and challenge what was happening at the time.
There are scientists who have been speaking up tirelessly and challenging govt - trying desperately to push for policies to protect people. Where were you when we were doing this? Why didn't you say anything? You're the director of the Wellcome Trust!
