"Student Reporter's Exposé Leads to Book Deal, Shaking Stanford's Leadership"
Theo Baker, the student journalist who exposed alleged errors in research conducted by a biotech company linked to Stanford University's former president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, has secured a book deal with Penguin Press. The book will detail Baker's freshman year and his investigative reporting that led to Tessier-Lavigne's resignation as president. Despite having journalist parents, Baker credits his school paper for his success. Stanford's board found evidence of research misconduct by some members of labs overseen by Tessier-Lavigne but did not find evidence of personal engagement in misconduct.
