Is physical anthropology as a whole field screwy, or is it just the Ivy League? My Mr H used to be Mr A, for Archaeologist, and his colleagues always seemed pretty laid back--but that might be because they were from a cow college, not an Ivy.
About the cancer/dysplasia issue--there seemed to be some slippage in the terms "cancer" and "tumor" with my mom's neurosurgeon. I wonder if that is typical in all discussions of tumors.
As for that other thing, misrepresentation of your work as his own--holy shit. The organizers of that conference ought to be made aware of that. That's as bad as falsifying data in a journal article.
The chemo thing sounds familiar from my mom's and my sister's experiences. My sister was being treated for hepatitis, but it sounded like it was a pretty similar experience to cancer treatment. It was scary to hear them saying they were not going to take the drugs anymore--even if they didn't mean it.
Glad other things are in place and promising. Fingers crossed on the work-from-home job.
Honestly, I think it's the whole field of physical anthropology! For the record, I've never experienced this kind of lack of rigor among archaeologists, but Mr. H may have a different take on it
