Thanks for this write up. I had no idea about any of this! I’m as bit disturbed by Makary’s response to your “change your mind” question. Character, integrity, balance, and ability to compromise really matters when it comes to leading institutions, not just being smart and having good ideas.
Making new discoveries is often helped by some contarianism yes, but I’m not sure it’s the best trait for running an institution.

Like you I hope they will do well!
Thanks! It will be interesting to see what changes they try to make to these institutions and how open to criticism they will be.
