LinkedIn is just FILLED with so many ridiculous, if not out right fabricated, "accomplishments". I've seen some that are absolutely hilarious, and at the same time sad. Sad for the warped personality, and sad because so many hiring managers are equally full of crap, delusional, or just plain dopey. The "tipping point" has been long passed.
Everybody with two connected neurons knew that AFQ056 was just a fabricated scam that nobody really believed in. It was based on creative "innovative" assumptions, "conclusive" data spinning and flawed exploratory POC studies. It kept "highly performing" Don on the gravy train while Millions were wasted and many unnecessarily exposed to his useless "research".
rumor has it that Joe was so mad at him that he made Don draft the embarrassing letter of apology to the fragile X patients
