Ok....I think the article glazed over the fact that his salary is $1.2M... :eek:

Why didn't I become a University Neuroscience Department Head???? :rolleyes:


And then he spent $400,000 of university research funds on camera gear.

BTW...a link to the list (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23201850-pra5926_report_redacted). What do you get for $400k....Leica, Hasselblad, Phase One, and Canon camera systems.
