WSJ: David Sinclair Screws Up

Hard to believe, even when you see it with your own eyes, that David Sinclair would become associated with a organization that sells wellness products through an Amway type sales structure. He has since ended his relationship with this organization but there he is...the star of the show, in front of the Shaklee sales force conference looking more like the combination of old style tonic salesman and a motivational speaker/preacher than a respected Harvard researcher. What could he be thinking? Hasn't he made enough money with the takeover of Sirtris Pharmacueticals by Glaxo? It makes me wonder to what extent the sale of Sirtris to Glaxo for $700,000,000 was a result of good marketing versus good science! Is this a sign of honest, unbridled enthusiasm from Sinclair or an indication of shameless greed? Take the poll at the right and express your views.
