Memory of Mickey
In 2005 I was encouraged to resign from my research study coordinator position at UT Southwestern after I reported principal investigator Madhukar Trivedi for ethical misconduct. I was despondent and reached out to Bob Rubin, who introduced me to Barney Carroll. Bob Rubin and Barney Carroll were my lifelines through some difficult times. In 2011 Barney Carroll introduced me to Mickey Nardo. Mickey investigated my complaint and published his findings on his blog. His analysis of what I experienced in the world of academic clinical research helped me to recover and move on to a career in regulatory services.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mickey and his wife Sharon in Austin during the “TMAP trial” which involved Madhukar Trivedi and his mentor John Rush. Even though the drug company settled before Trivedi and Rush appeared in court, the trial brought attention to the questionable activities of academic researchers at UT Southwestern.
