as someone with a background in the biotech industry and also as someone who has written a lot about theranos' systemic problems, i'm inclined to say the problems with corporate culture go way farther than this article suggests. the technical mishaps with pipettors and nanocapsules aside, theranos has a culture of 1. secrecy, 2. exec impunity, and 3. incompetence. i'm sorry to say that theranos is probably not the only biotech company out there which falsifies results. i was never under any pressure to falsify any kind of results in my positions, but the incentives are very clear.
