Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,

Many of you may have seen an article in the Stanford Daily today that makes a string of false allegations regarding some of my scientific findings on neural degeneration. For those of you who wish to know the facts, please visit this link at my lab website.

Sincerely,

Marc Tessier-Lavigne
President, Stanford University
Bing Presidential Professor and Head of the Tessier-Lavigne Laboratory at Stanford University

What's next? MTL suing the Daily for libel? "Oh, they wanted fun on campus, so they trumped up this false allegations to get rid of me". . . .

I'm on staff and received it this afternoon.  I strongly believe this email was a brazen phishing attempt - the last sentence asking the recipient to visit the lab's website contained a hyperlink, which nobody in their right mind should ever click - but that's just the left side of my brain's opinion.  That said, this whole thing's turning an ugly circus - BoT needs to act soon and decisively.
