Response to the Disciplinary Committee
Say Biederman, Wilens, and Spencer:
“Ah hell, we just do what we can, sir.
You can’t avoid sleaze
When you’ve got our disease:
The absence of all moral sensors.”

Update:
“You could have made more nice statements about the drug.’’
More on the culture of academic psychiatry in the United States.

Lest we forget.
… Biederman is a leading proponent of the off-label use of antipsychotic drugs to treat bipolar illness in children. His work is widely seen as contributing to an explosive growth in such prescriptions, and much of his support came from companies that benefited from his research.

Biederman was under fire;
John Harvard scarce contained his ire:
Don’t you dare make me look bad
Or I will say that you’re the cad:
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
It took three years for me to figure
How to make your guilt look bigger
Than my reckless pandering:
We really like the cash you bring
Until the point where people snigger.
So, won’t you go away, you pest?
At Harvard you’re no longer blessed.
Why don’t you just bugger off,
Set up shop with Nemeroff?
Down there they’ll say that you’re the best!
