Trial By Error: Did the Dog Eat Professor Crawley’s Seven Missing Corrections?

*October is crowdfunding month at UC Berkeley. If you like my work, consider making a tax-deductible donation to Berkeley’s School of Public Health to support the Trial By Error: project: https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/33528
On October 5th, I got an e-mail from the Health Research Authority in relation to the concerns I had raised with the agency, which is part of the National Health Service involved with research ethics. The concerns involved the problematic practices of Professor Esther Crawley, Bristol’s ethically and methodologically challenged pediatrician and grant magnet. Three years ago, a joint investigation from Bristol and the HRA requested that she correct the ethics statements in eleven papers. So far, only four of them have been corrected.
The rest remain uncorrected–for as-yet-unexplained reasons. I contacted both the HRA and Bristol about this matter. The HRA promised to look into it. Bristol’s legal department declined to respond to my questions. That’s not surprising. A few years ago, the legal department engaged in thuggish behavior by complaining to Berkeley’s chancellor because of my (wholly accurate) criticisms of Professor Crawley’s egregious flawed work–some of which, in my professional public health opinion, easily qualifies as serious research misconduct.
So where do things stand now?
