Isn't it slightly embarrassing that we:
a) can't predict the impact of most research programs very well but

Her publication record from 2005 onwards is pretty solid: Immunity and Nature papers with a thousand citations each, an out-licensed patent, and a bunch of other papers too.
It probably wouldn't kill anyone for UPenn to say "The value/success of her work wasn't obvious to our P&T committee at the time" or something vaguely apologetic.

UPenn needs to publicly own up to their short-sightedness and apologize to the researcher. If you want the bouquets you should also be ready for the brickbats.
