Academic Freedom

The SSRI story collides with a case that has raised concerns about academic freedom. Following a lecture, which parenthetically noted the existence of a controversy about Prozac, I had a job contract with the University of Toronto withdrawn. See Chapter 10 of Let Them Eat Prozac. The contents of the lecture and the associated correspondence are reproduced here.
