Who writes these articles? This is their Scientific board. "The board" almost always implies the company's corporate board which among other things can fire the CEO. Advisory boards just offer advice.

- bbgm 11y agoI am almost certain Theranos has always had an SAB (I don't know of a single company in this space that doesn't). Even my tiny startup 16 years ago had one. I've served on a couple myself and the role is very different. I do wonder how involved the SAB has been given all the questions. Edit: looking at the page I am now uncertain they had one, which would be very unusual for a life sciences company.
- nxzero 11y agoIn regards to if they already had the SAB - pretty sure before this there was no scientific and medical advisory board, otherwise, why would they be adding so many members to it at once; meaning if that's the case, seems really, really fishy.
- dang 11y agoThanks. We put "advisory board" in the title above.
