New SPN season thoughts

Continuing from this post : I'm still feeling very mixed about this season. As much as I hope it goes well, I'm concerned that they're going to play up the role of supporting cast a lot more in this season, but more importantly, that Jared and Jensen just aren't feeling as happy about being there, and won't be able to give the show the energy it needs. I hope they really do wrap up the show ...

Survey!Fail - I should have known better

... extremely helpful to me. And I would always recommend jonquil 's posts on any subject so for anyone who is still "bzuh?" about Survey!fail, please read her posts. As deadlychameleon posted yesterday regarding Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam's connection with Boston University : I called the Boston University IRB office. The direct approach works. They've gotten a lot of emails...

I know neededalj offline, and I can verify that she knows her shit when it comes to ...

wrt SurveyFail

Okay, so apparently deadlychameleon established here that Ogas and Gaddam do not have either IRB approval or the support of Boston University. Which removes them from the academic sphere. So here's my question: tactically speaking, what do we do now? I mean obviously we flame them and spam them and people are starting to write some kinda awesome RPS and that's all happymaking, but can ...

Boosting signal: the BU IRB speaks.

(via bossymarmalade ) deadlychameleon picked up the phone and called. Reposted with permission: I called the Boston University IRB office. The direct approach works. They've gotten a lot of emails regarding Dr. Ogas. He is no longer in any way affiliated with Boston University, except as a recent graduate . They have asked him to stop using his official Boston University ...
