The Pioneering Woman Of Science Whom DUers Are Going To Attack And Smear [View all]

The Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York is no small-potatoes job. As one might imagine, it requires a person of the highest qualifications and integrity.

Dr. Barbara Sampson, the woman on the far right of the photograph below, was appointed in 2014 by Mayor Bill de Blasio, and is the first woman to occupy that office.





Dr. Sampson is also a trustee of the American Board of Pathology.

A native of New York City, Dr. Sampson earned her bachelor’s degree from Princeton University, obtained her Ph.D. in Molecular Biology at Rockefeller University, and received her degree in medicine at Cornell University Medical College, followed by a residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

She brings years of experience to her role as Chief Medical Examiner, having served as Acting Chief Medical Examiner, First Deputy Chief Medical Examiner, Senior Medical Examiner, and Cardiovascular Pathology Consultant, among other positions at OCME since 1998.

She serves as President of the Society of Cardiovascular Pathology, the Vice-Chairman of the Residency Review Committee for Pathology of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and is a member of the National Association of Medical Examiners, the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.

Dr. Sampson has published widely on forensic pathology and microbiology, including 29 articles and 4 book chapters, and serves as an Associate Editor of the journal Cardiovascular Pathology. She is the recipient of the Young Investigator Award from the Society of Cardiovascular Pathology and the E.R. Squibb and Sons Senior Thesis Prize for Contribution to Scientific Research. Dr. Sampson is board certified in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology and Forensic Pathology and is participating in Maintenance of Certification.

Go ahead and smear her your best, DU. What sum of money do you suppose she decided to cash in a lifetime of integrity for? Post how much you think it took.

Tell me how much it takes to buy off a leading woman scientist, who was educated and came up through the ranks when science was a much more male-dominated profession, and who no doubt was discouraged by men every step of the way, in order to cover up the crimes of a man who was credibly accused of molesting girls.

I want to know what you have to do to get a woman to trade in her integrity for a job like that, so please let me know how much money you think it takes.

And, shame on you.

On edit: I have been advised to clarify that "DUers" means "persons who post to DU". It does not mean "all DUers", just as references to, for example, "white people" do not always mean "all white people". Given that I am also a DUer, one might think the meaning of the phrase was clear, but apparently not. If the comment does not apply to you, then have a great day!

Her autopsy conclusion is likely a minority opinion here jberryhill Aug 2019 #29

Nice try blaming me for what you wrote lunatica Aug 2019 #106
apparently you didn't say "some" which means the same thing as "all" Takket Aug 2019 #92

You said, "Go ahead and smear her your best, DU. " pnwmom Aug 2019 #93

If you hadn't been trying to slam DU, you should have omitted the word "DU." pnwmom Aug 2019 #101
Since you don't get the reference, maybe this will help jberryhill Aug 2019 #122
You're just trying to distract. The point is that you could and should have left the word DU pnwmom Aug 2019 #131
We shall see what the majority opinion is, as time goes forward jberryhill Aug 2019 #133
The point is you needlessly included the word "DU" in those sentences pnwmom Aug 2019 #141
