before you get all creeped out, I was there, bob. You might remember me as the grad student who correctly predicted that the stock market was going to tank in 2008.

hm let me guess, PI wanted to spin up a biotech, had a golden child grad student who got the results he needed. Those results it turned out were questionable, probably due to creative terminantion of experiments at the point where they hit appropriate p values (by the nature of random walks) - no retraction. Several grad students on the project left the lab en masse, and were washed out after having spent three or so years in a the arms of a charismatic PI.

Agreed. After all, the website has only been under construction for a few years. Everyone knows it takes at least a decade to finish a website. Geesh.

It seems like Reza recently updated his site. Maybe a response to your posts?

And how many left this world in the years after they left the Corey!

With regard to the Ghadiri group website, my key points here were: 1) it is probably not such a good idea for Reza to have a group website; 2) there are no technical reasons for Dr. Ghadiri not to have a website; 3) the whole thing with non-working buttons and "new site arriving soon" might be a bit misleading to visitors. I also found it interesting that despite of all this and the fact that nobody forces Reza Ghadiri to have a website, the homepage keeps going through different versions of being "under construction". Big deal or small — if you got all this, you have not really failed.

Maybe you should not look for a conspiracy where there is unlikely to be one? Not every single research group even has a website. Many are not up-to-date, or just as much "under construction" as Reza's.
I really fail to see the big deal here.

That E.J. Corey site has to be the worst thing I have ever seen.

I am half expecting it to ask me to "Insert Disk 2" every time I click on something.
