Grossman continued to press for more information. He spoke with Channing Robertson, who was a Theranos board member and a professor of chemical engineering at Stanford. Over two conversations, Robertson told Grossman that the company’s technology was sound.
This is the most galling part. Dr. Robertson is currently a professor emeritus at Stanford. When Jan Hendrik Schoen [0] was caught doing scientific fraud, his alma mater, University of Konstanz, stripped him of his PhD. I'm not saying Prof. Robertson should be stripped of his PhD, but I feel like Stanford could make at least some symbolic gesture to distance themselves from this affair.
