#*After viewing Dr. Baggerly's talk, I feel much more surprised that this study actually led to two sets of clinical trials (and that it took so long for the authoritative organizations to realize the truth regarding the data). It seems very explicit and clear that the data was deeply flawed, and it feels like Baggerly and Coombs did a good job at communicating their findings to Nature and to those involved with the research; it feels pretty absurd that there was even initial resistance, slight doubt, and an attempt to cover-up faulty data in response to the points made by Baggerly and Coombs. | #*After viewing Dr. Baggerly's talk, I feel much more surprised that this study actually led to two sets of clinical trials (and that it took so long for the authoritative organizations to realize the truth regarding the data).
