Barry doesn't work at the University of Iowa any more. I'm sure he's happy to be elsewhere since the same people he accused of deliberately skewing rsearch are now doing collaborative studies wtih researchers at the University of Iowa. Continuing to make such accusations would have painted the researchers at U of IA with the same brush, which is a no-no, I'm certain.
