- Whistleblower says drug company failed to report bad side effects. “She also claims that the company failed to report 28 of 100 cases of bladder cancers to the FDA, which she called a “serious discrepancy,” and that Takeda told her to change her notation that the cancers were “related” to “unrelated.” The suit says that she was fired after she complained to her supervisors about the company’s failure to report all serious adverse events.”

- Is self-experimentation n=1? or is that misleading?
Yeah I was surprised about how you didn’t repudiate the “n=1″ rhetoric before. It’s simply wrong. The number of observations is not equal to the number of people with self-experimentation, since it’s not cross-sectional data. Self-experimentation means a possibly large and growing “n”, all on the most relevant subject – yourself.
Seth: It’s a subtle thing. Experiments with one subject are called “n = 1″. Yet experiments done in only one lab are not called “n = 1″. Is “n = 1″ derogatory? Or does it just serve to identify a certain kind of experiment? Not obvious.
