The Importance of Fairness in Science and Academia

Michael Joyner is a professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic. He has devoted his life to exercise science. This is a man who was commenting in his field of expertise. In 2012, the outgoing editor of Circulation Outcomes,. Harlan Kremholz from Yale, wrote an editorial, a note to my younger colleagues, dash, dash, be brave. Now, how is a younger scientist going to be brave in 2023 when a person like Michael Joyner makes a comment and is sanctioned from his institution, Mayo Clinic, a pillar of science? I just think this is an awful, awful story.
