"Dana-Farberications" is indirectly playing on the name of someone who presumably had nothing to do with these allegations, and who sounds more at the other end of the spectrum of respectability:
> Sidney Farber (September 30, 1903 – March 30, 1973) was an American pediatric pathologist. He is regarded as the father of modern chemotherapy for his work using folic acid antagonists to combat leukemia, which led to the development of other chemotherapeutic agents against other malignancies. Farber was also active in cancer research advocacy and fundraising, most notably through his establishment of the Jimmy Fund, a foundation dedicated to pediatric research in childhood cancers. The Dana–Farber Cancer Institute is named after him.

- CartyBoston 3y agoIt's the name of an institution, not just a person.
- bmitc 3y agoThey or their estate are perfectly capable (maybe, depending on contracts) of removing their name from the institute. If you want to pay to have your name attached to something, you should be prepared to have your name attached to that something and its activities.
