Yeah, all of those people. What makes an idea “crappy”? You know you can disagree with ideas that offend you, right?

  His genetics ideas are bad science. They are poorly thought out papers and overstate conclusions based on data that don’t properly account for the population and environmental effects. Hsu has been doing this for many many years. Then he goes around alt-right circles and acts like there is controversy; and starts companies offering embryo selection based on polygenic scores; again terrible science and he didn’t even state his conflict of interests on that. I disagree with all of those ideas and actions... and he still should be a professor. He just shouldn’t be a VP of research at MSU. He’s had several bad ethical lapses. The COI alone is grounds for firing... see the similar types of controversies surrounding the Harvard chemist who failed to disclose Chinese funding; that guy wasn’t even vp of research. Finally, all of this controversy makes it nearly impossible to do the work of vp of research effectively. He gets to go back now to maybe making his research and papers better (in a fully tenured job).
