...It turns out that there were several incidences of unbecoming behavior involving Bling Bling, I mean, the esteemed Dr. Nemeroff. Who could forget the time that he conveyed what appears to be fictional data in a continuing medical education course? How 'bout an article that seems to overstate the advantages of Effexor (1, 2)? And his contradictory statements regarding the role of serotonin in depression? His involvement in a shady at best study on the effects of Risperdal in depression is also worth reading. In fact, for a summary of many issues regarding Nemeroff, feel free to read an earlier post that outlines many events and provides links for more in-depth information on each of them.
One of my first posts on Nemeroff was presciently titled: Uh-oh Chuck, They Out to Get Us, Man. Apparently, I was foreshadowing the present investigation. Don't feel too bad for Nemeroff; he should be able to afford excellent legal representation.
Maybe this latest mire in which Nemeroff finds himself explains the uptick in hits from Emory University and the Senate this site has been seeing lately?
Please also read Daniel Carlat's unflattering take on Nemeroff's behavior.

I'm sure by the time this comment gets posted, updates will reveal that Dr Nemeroff has resigned.
Not soon enough for me.
But, the real scandal is how all these university programs just look for excuses to avoid shaming these professors and dept. chairs.
And these people/institutions want us to believe they can lead by example? Wow, greed and narcissism, these are traits that will granish good will and support.
Ugh!!!
