How did I know you'd be the first to comment? 😆

LinkedIn post to hire a new ethics leader with the office of the director.

These are comments that notice the irony.

This is going as well as expected. I can't imagine how managing the director's lack of ethics would be fun. #NIH

You guys were great. I'm honored to work along side you and best of all to call you friends. I finally get to have lunch with the cool kids. What am I thinking. WE ARE THE COOL KIDS TABLE!

You're more qualified than JBtl by virtue of not gaslighting staff and actually showing up to Bldg 1. You also understand the importance of getting PIs their awards and doing service with other directors. Your podcasts also have better audio quality. Jerk can't do that right.
