There has been some progress with this information disclosure campaign, and the recent ruling that students must be informed of their professors’ affiliations is a small step in the right direction.

We are pleased to see that Pfizer has agreed to this request, but the impetus for funding transparency must come from the Harvard Medical School itself for credibility upon which...
